100 day whirlwind
Roy Frost, new Managing
Director of Deceuninck UK
is making his presence felt
in the market. Backed by the
Deceuninck board, Roy has
major plans to shake things
up.
As well as building
relationships with customers and
helping companies understand
the benefits of using Deceuninck,
Roy has been working non-stop
to create a suite of powerful
sales tools. Deceuninck has
probably the widest range of

quality products in the industry
and is renowned for its kerbside
appeal. Supported by a pipeline
of product and marketing
innovations, Deceuninck aims
to help fabricators and installers
compete more effectively and
grow.
“While I’m certainly not new
to the window and door market,
I’m new to Deceuninck and my
first hundred days have been
a whirlwind,” says Roy. “I’ve
met most of our Deceuninck
fabricators and been impressed

at their professionalism and
enthusiasm for the Deceuninck
difference and the support we
give them. But there are many
professional business-hungry
fabricators and installers who
are clearly frustrated with the
support they are receiving
from systems companies. I’ve
been travelling extensively
in the UK and have had a
fascinating insight into what
those ambitious fabricators are
looking for from a business
partner.”

Glass, its new showroom has already helped the company convert more
sales.
“Since the opening of our timber showroom 16 weeks ago, we have
secured in excess of £140k of new business, all of which has come at
good margins” Mark commented.
“Dempsey was extremely helpful during the showroom design
process and its valuable advice helped us create the right effect.” Mark
continues: “Following several meetings with Peter Dyer and a visit to
Dempsey’s impressive factory in West Yorkshire, I decided now was the
right time to increase our product offering to include Dempsey Dyers
complete timber fenestration range.”
