KICKING OFF CHARITY FOR 2023

Following the success of last year ’ s initiative , Kick it with Keylite returns for 2023 with a brand-new message to support the construction sector .
» TO MARK THE START OF MENTAL Health Awareness Week , this year , Keylite is challenging contractors and trades to “ Pass it , Kick it , Keep it up ” in the name of Mates in Mind , who work to address the stigma of poor mental health within the construction sector .
It ’ s simple , in order to ‘ Pass it ’, tradespeople can share photos or leads of the Keylite roof windows they ’ ve been working by tagging or direct messaging Keylite on social media - all to be in for a chance of winning top prizes .
Each ‘ pass ’ counts as one entry into Keylite ’ s monthly prize draw to win £ 50 sports vouchers , as well as an ultimate draw for a Sky Sports annual TV pass , worth over £ 400 . Trades will also be encouraged to ‘ pass ’ support to colleagues who may be struggling and aim to get people talking about mental health on site and in the workplace .
The 2022 initiative saw huge success - most recently witnessing Keylite win a Mates in Mind Impact Award , for ‘ Best Commitment to Raising Mental Health Awareness Through Fundraising ’, after raising a whopping £ 20,000 for the mental health charity and spreading
awareness at builders ’ merchant ’ s pop-up events across the UK and Ireland .
Jonathan Boland , Sales Director at Keylite , comments : “ The ‘ Pass it ’ message is not only to find out more about the amazing projects our roof windows end up being a part of , but also to encourage the construction industry to ‘ pass ’ on kind words and keep talking to each other . As the saying goes : “ A problem shared is a problem halved ”, so keep passing , keep talking and keep breaking the stigma – you never know who might need it .”

30 Years of Excellence

» HOME IMPROVEMENT specialist TradeMark is commemorating its pearl anniversary as it celebrates thirty years of success .
The Reading-based business , led by founder and Managing Director Mark Ashwell and his wife , Sue , was officially formed in April 1993 .
In the years since , TradeMark has built up an enviable reputation thanks to their mantra of ‘ Doing Things Different , But Better ’ and their unwavering commitment to putting the customer first .
That ethos saw them receive national recognition when Mark was invited to appear on BBC ’ s leading consumer-rights show , Rogue Traders , to champion additional protection for customers in the UK and call for a clamp down on invasive
selling techniques across the sector .
This prime-time showcase came on the back of Mark ’ s vocal campaigning at a local level , where he worked closely to guide and advise regional trading standards services . It also helped position TradeMark as the Thames Valley ’ s leading home improvement company .
In 2013 , TradeMark joined the Conservatory Outlet Network , which has helped spur the business to even greater heights . Since joining the Network , TradeMark has only moved forward .
In the past five years alone , the company has doubled in size .
“ Reaching thirty years of business is a fantastic achievement ,” commented Mark Ashwell .
“ For over three decades
now , we ’ ve served the people of the Thames Valley – not the other way round . We ’ re always here to provide friendly , honest , and impartial advice . It ’ s one of the main reasons we ’ ve succeeded : building that trust with our customer base and delivering fantastic installations .
“ Here ’ s to the next thirty years .”
Conservatory Outlet CEO Greg Kane added : “ On behalf of Conservatory Outlet , I ’ d like to wish Mark , Sue and
the team at TradeMark my warmest congratulations for achieving thirty years of success . TradeMark ’ s reputation for providing a personable service and an excellent quality of work is second to none , and we ’ re honoured to have them as part of our network of premium retailers .
“ We look forward to working with TradeMark for another thirty years and helping them grow further .”
