NEW PARTNERSHIP FUELS ROCKET IN SALES

»»
FOR A NEW BUSINESS TO increase turnover by 60 % in its first year is very impressive , but that ’ s precisely what Chester-le- Street installer Arc Home Design is on course to achieve thanks to the opening of a new showroom and a partnership with one of the industry ’ s leading names – Customade Group .
Anthony McKeough set up Arc Home Design at the beginning of 2018 to offer homeowners across the North- East a wide range of PVCu and aluminium windows , doors and glazed roof systems . Rather than source his products from several different suppliers though , Anthony was keen to partner with one full service supplier who could provide not only the variety of top quality products he wanted , but also offer the service and showroom and marketing support he needed .
“ Customade has been absolutely superb ,” says Anthony . “ It ’ s brilliant to find a partner who is so willing to put in the effort to help me grow , diversify and make my business stand out in customers ’ minds by offering something different .”
As well as the extensive range of products from across Customade Group brands , including REAL Aluminium bi-fold doors , three composite doors and the ultra-modern Virtu-AL door from Virtuoso Doors , PVCu windows from
Polyframe and traditional and contemporary roof lanterns from Atlas Roof Solutions , Arc Home Design is the only showroom in the North-East with a Skyroom , having a 5x3 metre version on display .
“ The Skyroom has proved to be a real draw ,” adds Arc Home Design director Karen McKeough . “ With its slim frames and sleek modern appearance , it ’ s a fantastic product . Customers love the look of the Skyroom and when we explain its strength and affordability , it literally sells itself .”
The Arc showroom features several displays and brochures – all part of Customade ’ s showroom and marketing support – that have helped Anthony increase his sales conversion ratio to more than 90 % and he ’ s now stocking a full range of aluminium products to take advantage of the growing demand for aluminium over PVCu .
Gareth Thomas , sales director at Customade Group , concludes , “ Congratulations to Anthony on achieving so much in such a relatively short time . His phenomenal success is typical of the new breed of installers who realise the benefits of having a wider range of products from one supplier , with all the support we can offer .”
