£10,000 community giveaway
» » SEH BAC DOOR AND CONSERVATORY
installers, has chosen the winning community
building to receive their competition prize of
£10,000 worth of windows and doors.
The Suffolk-based installer launched the
giveaway to help a community building in
desperate need and to commemorate over 45
years of trading. SEH BAC received scores of
excellent nominations but after careful review,
have announced the winning community
building as the West Cliff Theatre in Clacton-
on-Sea.
“We wanted to do a charity giveaway to
say thank you to the public for supporting
us for over 45-years,” commented SEH
BAC Managing Director John Savage. “We
are thrilled to be able to in-turn support a
wonderful cause like the West Cliff Theatre in
Clacton. New windows and doors will ensure
that the much-loved theatre in the community
can continue operating for future generations
to enjoy.”
SEH BAC will begin work transforming
the theatre and replacing the windows and
doors this year. The renovation will not only
improve the building itself but help to reduce
the running costs of the theatre using the latest,
energy efficient windows and doors.

ACTION FOR SPECIAL-NEEDS CHARITY
» » DONATIONS FOR A
Gloucestershire-based special-needs charity
have been flooding in after a fundraising
auction at the recent Atlas Installation of the
Year awards.
The awards, which were held on 20th
January to honour the industry’s finest
orangery, conservatory or rooflight
installations, spurred guests to dig deep in to
their pockets to raise £3,500 for the Spring
Centre in Gloucester. The funds will be used
to buy much-needed specialised toys, which
will boost the toy library at the Centre.
The Spring Centre needs to raise £10,000
a month to support the families of more than
100 youngsters with disabilities and special
needs throughout Gloucestershire. This
donation from Atlas rounds off two years of
fundraising by Atlas’ parent company the
Customade Group which has raised a total of
£48,000.
Nick Gibbons, Customade Group
Operations Director, explains: “This fantastic
charity is very close to our hearts. My 13-year
old daughter Niamh, who suffers from a
genetic condition and needs 24-hour care,
regularly visits The Spring Centre for essential
respite care. We are delighted to have raised
such a terrific amount of money for the Centre
over the last two years.”

Stephen Hancox, Managing Director
at Goliath, explains: “Network VEKA was
conceived to help installers demonstrate
that they uphold the highest standards; not
just in using systems from The VEKA UK
Group, but also in their levels of service,
installation and aftercare. That unbroken
chain of quality – from extrusion to
certification – is a USP in our industry that
homeowners understand and value.
“I’ve sat on the Network VEKA steering
group since day one, and when I see sales
figures like these, not just for Goliath, but
any member company achieving such results,
I feel immensely proud of what we’ve
accomplished over the last two decades.”
Karen Lund, Head of Partner Programmes
for The VEKA UK Group commented:
“Stephen and the Goliath team have
been instrumental in the development
of Network VEKA from the start. These
figures further cement them as brilliant
ambassadors for the organisation, and
we congratulate them on this fantastic
achievement, and thank them for their
ongoing efforts. Well done!”
