INVESTING INTEREST
The team behind Alumate are self-confessed
‘careful planners’ and not spontaneous risk
takers; so you may not want to challenge
them to a game of Chess. That said they are in
the game of making strategic moves when it
comes to reinvestment to consistently improve
the brand and business. Again however, with
careful planning, the money put back into
people - machinery - processes; all helping
Alumate to evolve efficiently, and effectively
absorb any problems that come their way.
Moving into a new premises the exact same
week as lockdown started, for example, would
have been a terrifying thought for many. For
Alumate, however, while of course they never
could’ve planned for ‘that’, they had planned
the move to such a precision that it was a
smooth transition until it was business as usual
once again. Check mate, Alumate.
HERE FOR THE LONG HAUL
Alumate prides itself on sustainability, and
not just the first thing you think of when you
hear that. Staying finance-focussed is not just
a way for the Alumate team to stay calm in the
face of adversity; it’s something that all of their
customers - present and prospective - should
take comfort in. Knowing that the company
you buy a window or door from is going to
outlast the guarantee or warranty you get
with the unit shouldn’t be a worry, but sadly
it sometimes is. Alumate knows it will be here
in 10 years, 25 years, and so on; that’s why it’s
the safe bet for its customers, and in turn their
customers.
BIG ENOUGH TO COPE,
SMALL ENOUGH TO CARE
Seven things add up to eight words when it
comes to Alumate; separately they might not
mean much, but together they make a mighty
motto. ‘Big enough to cope, small enough to
care’ is the mantra that sets the tone for all
the activities at Alumate. In their own words
they don’t display it anywhere, or shout it out
to anyone outside of the team, but having
the attitude that they put in the hard work to
grow and develop to the best of their potential
while never turning their back on a customer;
whether its a single replacement casement or a
bespoke orangery design; is the heartbeat of all
that matters at Alumate.
