businessNEWS 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. www.glazeritewindows.co.uk Purplex Celebrates 10 Years of Marketing Excellence From a one-man marketing consultancy set up by Andrew Scott in 2004 to the industry’s largest specialist marketing and PR agency, Purplex today is an integrated full-service agency employing a dynamic team of 30.
