NEW VEHICLES GET THERE FASTER,
CLEANER AND MORE EFFICIENTLY
» » PIONEER TRADING HAS UPPED ITS
game with new delivery vehicles that will
reduce the company’s fleet costs whilst
ensuring pollution during the delivery
of its energy saving windows, doors and
conservatories is reduced to the minimum.
Three new Iveco 7.5 tonne Eurocargo
vehicles are amongst the most fuel-efficient
available today whilst enjoying an excellent
reputation for reliability. Managing Director
Danny Williams says that as well as making
sense for the company he is personally keen to
reduce the company’s environmental impact,
“I am very aware of the irony of offering
products that are marketed and purchased for
their energy efficiency but which then have a
significant impact on the environment during
their manufacture and delivery.
“We continuously monitor and update our
manufacturing processes to improve efficiency
and these new vehicles will have a significant
impact on our energy and pollution values
during their delivery cycles. All businesses have
to think this way now as a matter of course,
and our business strategy now requires us to
always choose equipment and systems that
become available to reduce our environmental
impact.”

Audit Boosts Company for New Owners
» » NEW FACTORY, NEW PRODUCTION
lines – plus a whole new way of thinking
– and now, newly-acquired Hertfordshire
fabricator Welglaze has gained a major boost
from a 95% score from CMS auditors that
puts it in the top 20% of all companies of its
kind.
The accreditation is just the latest step in
the development of Welglaze since it became
part of Audasi Holdings, owner of Quickslide,
and set about adopting the same standards and
values as its new sister company, as the Group’s
Chairman Adrian Barraclough explained:
“Welglaze already has a loyal customer
base and a great reputation as a Deceuninck
fabricator. We have worked hard
since the acquisition to build on those
strong roots so it is very rewarding to hear
such praise from such a respected independent
source.
He added that, while the transformation
began with a move to a completely new
factory and significant investment in new
production equipment the much bigger
step was to bring the Quickslide
culture of product quality and
customer service and integrate that
into everything Welglaze does.
That new culture has been
widely applauded by customers such
as Dorking Windows.
