Stephanie,
Clearview Editor

As we race quickly towards
2016, firstly, I’d like to say a
Merry Christmas and a Happy
and Prosperous New Year to
all our readers, advertisers
and editorial supporters
from both the publishers and
staff of Clearview Group.
»»I’m not sure about you guys, but
personally the last 12 months have flown by, with my role
as Editor being kept busy with vast amount of success
stories dominating the pages of Clearview, Pro Installer,
Clearzine, Locksmith and Farmers Mart.
Even now, what could be sometimes deemed as ‘a
quieter period’ for the industry’s timetable, we are still
inundated with storylines of continuing growth - through
the introduction of new products and services, the
development of relationships and investment in staff and
equipment. And with no signs of a slowdown, the next 12
months are looking good for companies who continue to
innovate.
Reflecting on the last year, it is also good to see so many
businesses stepping up their sales and marketing activities,
giving fenestration specialists the chance to be recognised
and nominated as finalists for their efforts at industry
award ceremonies such as G15 and the Construction
Awards.
Turning your attentions back to this our last issue of the
year, I’d like to point out some of the fascinating articles
that we are running; industry glass giant Saint-Gobain,
celebrating 350 years existence, a phenomenal achievement,
one of which any industry would be proud of and the much
dedicated team members of GM Fundraising, who are
setting themselves up for yet another challenge, in the form
of the Border2Border Cycling Challenge – good luck.
Lastly, our installer support, industry news and business
sections are packed with informative and interesting
articles that have been chosen to give readers useful
information to make informative decisions in their
businesses, for 2016.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Stephanie

A celeb in his
own right
John McDonough, the former managing
director of glass toughening business
Impact Safety Glass, is now heading up
the sales team of Merseyside based
trade fabricator Warwick North West.
»»Within weeks of
joining, John utilised his industry
know-how to land a prestigious
commercial contract. Warwick is
in the process of supplying 1,600
vertical sliders, 1,900 casement
windows and 300 entrance
doors, all made with the Eurocell
system.
John is also good friends with
actor Ricky Tomlinson, and
played a key part in organising
the recent filming session at
Warwick’s factory with the Royle
Family star.
Warwick’s director Greg
Johnson commented: “My father
has known John for several years
and has always been impressed
with his professional attitude and
ability to quickly build a rapport

with anyone he meets. John
has got off to a flying start, first
landing the contract in North
Wales and then organising the
promo day with Ricky - he has
firmly established himself as a key
member of our team.”

‘a fresh challenge’
John commented: “Joining
Warwick has been a fresh
challenge and I have really
enjoyed my time so far. Warwick
has a fantastic product offering
and I’m focussed on finding
installers.”
