‘ Legend’ celebrates 40 years work anniversary

» MICK SHARP, WHO HAS been with Ultraframe since 1985, has recently celebrated his 40-years anniversary at the company.
Andy Crowe, Operations Director commented:“ Highly valued by every employee, Mick consistently strives to get the best results for everyone. Green blood must run through his veins – he is fiercely loyal to Ultraframe and we’ re lucky to have him as part of the Ultraframe family.”
Mick’ s journey with Ultraframe began two years after the business started trading in 1983 at Albion Court in Clitheroe, then the company outgrew this premises within 12 months and moved to North Street in Clitheroe. Again after a few years, Ultraframe outgrew that premises and moved to part
of the site where Ultraframe now resides. Mick manufactured windows and doors for about 15 years before moving into the office dealing with the trade sales of windows and conservatories. Subsequently,
he took on the role of Service Engineer and Customer Service Manager of the Ultraframe Home Improvements and today heads up the samples department providing these critical selling tools to Ultraframe customers.
Reflecting on his milestone, Mick said:“ I have enjoyed the last 40 years at Ultraframe and worked in a variety of roles from manufacturing windows and doors, to Service Engineer, fitting windows, doors and conservatories. The innovation and product development are unrivalled and the products we develop truly are the best available, at Ultraframe I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge and experience with employees to make sure the products are made to the highest quality for all customers.”
Within the workforce at Ultraframe, over 22 % of staff have been with the company for over 20 years, which is a total of 3,235 years in total. These employees carry a huge amount of knowledge and experience, the company also places great value on bringing in new talent by offering apprenticeships and graduate trainee programmes. Apprenticeships are available across the business in many areas, offering the opportunity to learn and develop key skills. Ultraframe currently has eight apprentices within different departments such as Research & Development, Customer First and Engineering.

Stunning Installation of the Month Revealed

» A TRANSFORMATION IN THE sought-after area of March, Cambridgeshire, has been revealed as the winning entry for Sheerline’ s Installation of the Month competition for April. It showcases the collaborative efforts of installers Choice Windows and fabricators Direct Roofing Systems.
Sheerline’ s sleek aluminium profile was selected because it is in keeping with the traditional style of the area while providing the thoroughly modern benefits of aluminium. This includes Sheerline’ s straight out-of-the-box thermal efficiency and high-performance U-values, super slim sightlines, and exceptional security.
As part of the project, three Sheerline Prestige Bi-folds and a fantastic end gable were installed to flood the space with natural light. The homeowners opted for an increasingly popular colour combination of Agate Grey( RAL 7038) outside with Pure White( RAL 9010) inside.
Being a south-facing property and having previously had issues with the curtains and furniture being bleached by the abundance of natural light, Choice Windows made two recommendations to the homeowner to help them actively manage their solar gains and provide protection against ultraviolet( UV) rays.
The first suggestion was to install solar control glass, and the second was to add integral blinds. Choice Windows prides itself on providing a consultation-style service to help homeowners navigate the myriad of options when choosing new windows and doors.
Lee Kaminski, Choice Windows Owner, commented:“ I specified Sheerline for this project because I like the beading system – you fit it and you don’ t have to revisit it again, you don’ t need to adjust anything. It’ s just a really nice, neat system that feels good quality.”
Jimmy Cardno, Direct Roofing Systems Managing Director, said:“ We’ re incredibly proud to have played a part in this stunning project. The Agate Grey on White colour scheme is absolutely beautiful, really sophisticated and enhances this home perfectly and the shaped frame adds that wow factor! We have a great relationship with Choice Windows and look forward to working with them on future projects.”
