25% of 2022 is now history and we are now a week a way of that becoming 33%. Ahead of budget then -achieved a third of the targets for 2022.
Some businesses of course have paused from advancing their company so as to have something new to talk about in the 'trade show season'. You know, that period in time when a business gets to encourage their own loyal customers to get out and meet the competition, because unless they do that no one else will promote these group hug get-together's.
The added irony for those that don't get irony. Those that embrace a fully active sales position have already met, engaged and done the deal with their next new customer and have already moved on to more rewards.
C'est la vie
Window Ware: "At Window Ware, we have always made sure our customers receive the very best guidance on the latest regulations so they can take any changes all in their stride. It’s important that fabricators and installers know exactly how the updates to Part F will affect both them and their customers going forward." Commercial Director Richard Bryant said
Promat UK: "Designing and installing effective passive fire protection measures using glass requires a thorough understanding of how the different materials combine and interact. And, unfortunately, there is no margin for error, which is why we've created this training resource to help specifiers navigate the various regulations and standards and understand how to get it right for critical applications that protect people's lives." said Cath McLean, segment manager -glass
Fentrade Aluminium: "It's a door system that's been intelligently designed to open up opportunities for installers. For example, the Reynaers CP 130-LS has the option of a floating corner, to allow the whole corner of the property to be opened up to the outside giving uninterrupted views" commented: Chris Reeks director
Abcell Ltd: "The changes to Doc L is going to create the need for many installers to think carefully about the products that they offer customers, But there's no need to panic. It's all in the name - WarmCore was designed to offer better energy efficiency than other aluminium glazing products. It already offers impressive thermal efficiency with U-values as low as 1.0 W/m²K on bi-folds and 0.8 W/m²K on windows." says Neville Gleed, operations director
