Bohle: "When manually positioning glass, you need absolute confidence that your equipment is up to the task in hand. If that equipment fails, then there's the obvious risk to reputation and the cost of replacing damaged product - but when it comes to the risk to health and safety, a poor piece of equipment is worse than no equipment at all," commented: Dave Broxton, managing director.
Granada Glazing LtdThe North West in particular, led by the influential 'Northern powerhouse' cities of Manchester and Liverpool, has seen construction output running at ten times the national average, making it one of the busiest regions in Europe.
aluplast (UK) Limited: "The market for foils continues to grow, but so does the popularity of aluminium, aludec foils present an opportunity for installers to upsell or compete directly against aluminium, but it also gives PVC-U fabricators a much more cost-effective route into this lucrative sector," said: Ian Cocken, Director of Sales and Marketing.
Fentrade: "As a Q-Secure manufacturer, our customers have the choice to upgrade their bifold doors by fitting VBH Q-Secure hardware which forms part of the homeowner guarantee premium scheme. By upgrading to this enhanced security hardware option, the door becomes Q-Secure compliant and therefore gives our customers a further benefit to help close the sale into the domestic market," explains, Chris Reeks, director
Pilkington UK: "The architect went to great measures to ensure that the redesign of the building was close to the original blueprints while meeting the requirements of modern life. We’re immensely proud that our glass will play a part in bringing the building back to its former glory," said: Gary Stonelake, business development manager
Cornwall Group: "We are at the start of what is a three-year investment programme. What Highbridge will give us at the end of that journey, is one of the UK's most advanced manufacturing facilities with the ability to handle and process almost any product, from over-sized IGUs, through to walk-on insulated glass units;" said Mark Mitchell, chairman.
Mackenzie Glass: "Shipping containers aren't in the right places at the right times, and that means the slots allocated to them at ports are being missed and the problem becomes worse. The implications for UK glass supply are massive at a time when scheduled maintenance is about to significantly reduce domestic capacity." explained joint Managing Director, Mark Herbert
