IN THE FACE OF A RELATIVELY FLAT market , VEKA Group knows that investment is the best way to support customers and stay at the forefront of the industry .
2018 sees the industry-leading PVCu systems supplier expected to invest £ 5M in facilities , plant and technology at its Burnleybased site . VEKA Group MD Dave Jones explains : “ We have an exciting programme of developments planned for 2018 , to continue providing our customers with the very highest levels of service .
“ The focus of investment will be our lamination department . This is an area of the business that we have seen continue to grow year on year , in response to consumer demand . Currently , over 33 % of VEKA Group sales are foiled product , and we are focussed on preparing for continued expansion in this area .
“ We ’ re in the process of acquiring a building adjacent to the existing VEKA HQ which would allow the current 380,000 sq . ft site to expand by a further 40,000 sq . ft and will enable us to potentially increase lamination capacity by a further 50 %.”

Cosy comfort on site
Snickers Hoodies have long been favorites among professional craftsmen and women - so the new range of knitted hoodies is set to be a big hit .

A WORTHING BASED HOME improvement company has reported a tenth consecutive year of growth and said that a pivotal number of contract wins in 2017 has put the business in a position of strength moving forward .
In the year up to January 2018 , Newview Windows and Conservatories saw forward work climb from £ 4.2 million to £ 6.5 million – a 55 percent increase – thanks to a rise in the number of retail and commercial contracts the company has won recently .
During this period Newview also saw staff numbers rise to over 50 and the business commenced a major contract win with London City Airport .
The company won the contract to install noise-reducing windows on homes around London City Airport and has employed Gary Ward to head up the project .
London City Airport recently gained permission to begin its £ 400m expansion programme .
The expansion will involve extending a terminal , constructing seven new aircraft stands , and adding a parallel taxiway . The programme is expected to take around four years to complete and residents have been offered sound-proofed windows to minimise the disruption caused to them by the building work and then subsequent aircraft noise .
