GLAZERITE’S NORTH WEST
DIVISION IS STAR PERFORMER!
With a company record sales figure of
just under £18million for the year 2013,
Glazerite Windows Limited’s star performer
is...the North West Division.
Sales for the company’s North West Division
increased by 32.1% in 2013 supplying an
average 700 frames per week during the final
quarter of 2013. According to Insight Data,
in 2013 just 7% of fabricators supplied more
than 500 frames per week, so this further adds
to what is undoubtedly already an impressive
achievement.
The fact that Glazerite’s North West Division
is not a separate company makes the fact that
it has attained a 180% sales increase in three
full trading years - since the national trade
fabricator’s acquisition in September 2010
– even more outstanding. To accommodate
this growth and the anticipated increase for
2014, staffing levels have increased across all
departments by 40%.
Following the news that as an entire
company. Glazerite reported £17,876,458 in
sales for 2013, fuelled by a growth in Vertical
Sliding Sash Windows, Patio, Composite and
Bi-Folding Doors sales - as well the North
West Division’s achievement, the company
now looks forward with confidence.
