» UNDERLINING THE GOAL IT shares with Building Our Skills
of bringing more youngsters
into the fenestration , glass
and glazing sectors , Strata has
agreed to help in the delivery
of the Inspiring The Future
Campaign . Sharon Parkes ,
CMIOSH , Strata ’ s Director of
Health , Safety & Compliance
and now an Inspiring The
Future volunteer explains :
“ Here at Strata we care very
much about addressing the
skills gap that is unfortunately
a feature of our industry . A
key part of this process is
encouraging youngsters to
join it , teach them about the
variety of roles the fenestration
industry can offer and
to help nurture new recruits .
That ’ s why when I heard about
Building Our Skills ’ Inspiring The
Future campaign I knew we
had to be part of it , and I was
delighted to be accepted as a
volunteer .
“ I believe we in the industry
can help build confidence in
school children and young
workers , and really help to
inspire them with the opportunities
that are to be found
in the world of fenestration ,
glass and glazing . I think
Building Our Skills is a fantastic
initiative and I ’ d encourage
|
other companies ’ members of staff to get involved too . Volunteering for the campaign ’ s programme is very satisfying . Broadening the horizons of young people is so rewarding .”
The idea behind the Inspiring the Future campaign is to use industry employees to help inspire the school children who will become the industry ’ s future workforce .

» DORSET-BASED installer Bill Butters Windows is the latest company to sign up to ARC Design , following a surge of interest in the new tech innovation from Augmented Reality Creations ( ARC ).
Sitting within an installer ’ s website , the ARC Design platform helps consumers design and experience their conservatory , and then request a quote .
Within seconds , the homeowner can then save the design to their mobile phone or tablet , and view the conservatory in immersive augmented reality while walking around their garden and home .
Bill Butters Windows Director Paul Kelly comments : “ ARC Design is set to be a game changer for Bill Butters Windows , as it will allow potential customers to design their own conservatory directly via our website , and then view their design on their own home in augmented reality .
“ Unlike other conservatory design software I ’ ve seen on the market , ARC Design doesn ’ t require any training , as the software has been specifically designed
|
for homeowners with no design experience or product knowledge .
“ All the homeowner ’ s design preferences and contact details will automatically be delivered to us , meaning that our first interaction with a prospective customer will be highly informed – we ’ ll be going in already knowing what they want , resulting in quicker sales and conversion rates .
“ ARC Design is set to be a very worthwhile investment for the company , and it was a pleasure dealing with ARC in getting everything set up . I very much look forward to seeing this new innovative technology in action , and establishing Bill Butters Windows firmly within an increasingly modern industry .”
ARC COO and Co-founder Andy Clear comments : “ We ’ re delighted to have Bill Butters Windows sign up to ARC Design . We ’ re incredibly proud of the software that we ’ ve developed , and we ’ re excited to see how it will transform the company ’ s lead generation , conversion rates , and sales visits .”
