Annual Predictions
135,000 homeowners quoted in 2024
CHRIS BRUNSDON , CEO
» THE NUMBER OF FIRMS USING TOMMY Trinder for their quoting has continued to grow , with 250 more installation companies signing up to use the service over the last twelve months .
When you consider the ease with which consumers are able to model other significant purchases like cars or kitchens , it feels inevitable that offering the client a visual of windows and doors will become the norm . Customers love being able to ‘ try before they buy .’
Having a full suite of materials - timber , aluminium , steel and PVCu - available to touch , show and sell is really boosting the numbers , and we ’ re seeing a rising incidence of installers combining multiple materials in one quote ; typically , in the region of £ 7,300 .
Premium features are a factor too ; foils , dual colours , dummy vents , mechanical joints , flush casements , surface mounted bars and premium ironmongery . It ’ s easy to show these off on the Tommy platform , and when it ’ s easy to show it ’ s easy to sell .
