300 Issues. One Industry. What’ s Next?
7 THINGS: THE CLEARVIEW PUBLISHING GROUP
Three hundred issues of Clearview is a milestone worth celebrating. What began as a single magazine has grown into a family of specialist publications, digital platforms and events, each serving a different part of the fenestration, door, locksmith and security industries.
Steve Sidebottom, director says:“ The industry has changed enormously, but the principle remains the same:
understand our readers, know our customers and give the trade the information, insight and connections it needs. Print remains a vital part of that, supported by an ever-growing range of digital platforms and opportunities to bring people together. And we’ re not standing still.”

GET AHEAD OF WHAT ' S NEXT
Ready for the 2027 Standard?
With the revised BSI 3-Star Kitemark testing becoming mandatory in January 2027, now is the time to upgrade to compliant solutions.
1. Clearview & Clearzine 300 issues and counting. Our flagship title celebrates its 300th issue, continuing to inform and connect the fenestration industry through news, products, projects and industry insight. Three hundred issues reflect a sector that has continually evolved and a publication that has evolved alongside it.
Its online partner, Clearzine, keeps that conversation going between issues, delivering a weekly newsletter to 14,000 industry email addresses every Monday.
“ Three hundred issues is a fantastic milestone, but what matters most is continuing to be relevant. The industry changes, technology moves on and new challenges emerge, but readers still want trusted information and insight. Our job is to keep delivering that, in print and online,” says Gemma Emmerson, editor.

MADE FOR TRADE ANNOUNCES MAJOR INVESTMENT
Coming Soon: NEW Front Doors & Windows- The Next Step in Trade Innovation
Made for Trade has announced a major expansion of its UK operations with the addition of Dimensions House, a 110,496 sq ft facility in Northampton that will become a key production, distribution and showroom site for the business. The site investment is complemented by another significant investment in Schirmer machinery to improve the quality of already industry leading production. The new premises will support Made for Trade’ s continued growth by increasing production capacity, improving distribution efficiency and strengthening service levels for customers across the UK.
Dimensions House has been selected as a strategically important location for the business. With a significant proportion of Made for Trade’ s customer base located outside its North East manufacturing base, the Northampton site will allow the company to operate a more efficient national distribution model, with larger trunking runs into the hub and smaller, more frequent delivery routes from the site.
This hub-and-spoke approach will improve delivery efficiency, reduce pressure on existing operations and support a faster, more responsive service for trade customers.
Midlands showroom
The facility will also include a dedicated showroom, which will be used to onboard new accounts and introduce customers to the company’ s expanding product range. The showroom will also be available for Made for Trade customers to use when presenting Korniche products to their own end users, giving trade partners a professional environment in which to demonstrate the quality, design and performance of the range.
Expanded aluminium range
Dimensions House will play a central role in Made for Trade’ s future product strategy. The site is planned to become the production facility for the upcoming Korniche Window, an all-aluminium product designed to redefine the UK aluminium window sector through innovation, installation simplicity, strong thermal performance, competitive pricing, high stock availability and short lead times.
