When top installer Premier Windows needed a brand-new website to stand out as the high-quality choice when it comes to windows, doors and glazed extensions, it knew who to turn to; Purplex. » » THE LEADING FULL-SERVICE marketing agency in the construction industry has a reputation for building websites that get companies noticed. And it didn’t take long for Premier Window’s new website to get some attention once it had gone live, just a couple of hours in fact… Nathan Moore, Managing Director of Premier Windows, said: “We wanted a website that reflects our no-pressure sales approach and the high-quality products and professional service we provide, and the new site captures all this perfectly. A new customer called us within two hours of the website going live, said they had been looking for an installer in the local area and ours was the best website they had been on, and that’s why they got in touch. It was amazing.” The Weymouth-based company was established in 2011 and offers a broad range of top-quality uPVC, aluminium and composite products across Weymouth and the neighbouring areas. www.premierwindows.uk.com » » AS PART OF AFFORDABLE Windows, 21st Century can also supply Solidor composite doors elsewhere in the Midlands and beyond, while the offering of the showroom to local homeowners allows the company to pass on any enquiries directly to a list of trusted local installers. In addition to the offering of the industry’s most respected composite door brands, the new trade centre can also offer complementing PVCu window frames from KÖMMERLING, thereby acting as a single source, with all of the other consumables and ancillaries you’d expect from a trade counter. Jason Wootton, director and general manager of 21st Century Affordable in Stafford commented: “The ability to showcase a strong composite door brand is a must for any trade counter and we’re blessed with the opportunity as a Solidor trade partner. There’s already been strong interest from local fitters and installation teams, while we’re also encouraging homeowners to see the product in a modern-day showroom environment.” www.residor.co.uk www.solidor.co.uk BARNSLEY BUSINESS LEADS THE WAY FOR HEALTHY WORKPLACES » » DISTINCTION DOORS SHOWED IT truly understands the benefits that a healthy workplace brings when the South Yorkshire based company was announced as finalists in Barnsley Council’s inaugural Healthy Workplace Awards for the category of Best Health and Wellbeing Intervention/Initiative Award. Statistically, ill health of employees leads to loss of production, higher staff turnover and absenteeism. Reducing staff absences by just one day per year can save thousands while contributing to a more effective, satisfied workforce. In the case of Distinction Doors, the formation of a five-person Health and Wellbeing Team almost two years ago proved a worthy enough reason to be shortlisted, and, given the forward-thinking attitude of Distinction Doors, staff member Paul Hewkin was also crowned the winner in the Health Champion category. Since 2017 Paul has committed himself to improving the health and wellbeing of his colleagues. He explained: “When the Health and Wellbeing Team first started introducing ideas many thought it wouldn’t last and some didn’t take it very seriously. But the management team have been behind us the whole way and now everybody, whatever their shift pattern, is involved. www.distinctiondoors.co.uk C L E A RV I E W-U K . C O M » D E C 2018 » 69
