CUSTOMER CONFERENCE GIVEN BIG THUMBS UP
»»
A CUSTOMER conference held by Listers Central has been hailed a huge success – thanks in no small part to the firm’ s brand new dedicated online ordering software Easy Connect. The portal, which is exclusive to Listers trade partners, helps installers visualise with customers how their desired window, door or conservatory will look and perform. It also provides a quick and understandable method of quoting and ordering that speeds up the process.
The prominent Stoke-based fabricator hosted the one-day event at the company’ s state-of-the-art facilities in Fenton for customers to learn more about a number of exciting new products and explore the firm’ s revamped showroom.
More than 100 customers attended during the course of the day and some of the new products on show included Timeless, the authentic flush sash system from VEKA, and the unveiling of Räum, Listers’ brand-new aluminium range.
Phil Warren, Listers Central’ s Sales Director, commented:“ After a massive 12 months for Listers, which included the takeover by Roy Frost and the GJB Holdings Group and the introduction of a number of fantastic product lines, the open day provided us with the perfect platform to invite customers in to look towards an exciting future.”
