TOPPING OFF A PROSPEROUS year that’ s seen it celebrate its second birthday and surpass the £ 2m turnover mark, fast-moving aluminium fabricator The Window Outlet has been named Start-up of the Year at the prestigious Business Leader Awards.
“ It goes without saying – we were over the moon to be named Start-up of the Year,” commented Ben Warren, The Window Outlet Managing Director.“ In just two years, we’ ve come such a long way as a business – pioneering PVCu-style quick lead times and quote turnarounds, and closing in on £ 2m turnover. We’ re growing all the
time- adding more products, winning more business, and expanding our reach across the south of England. It’ s a hugely exciting time for us – and getting the Business Leader Award really is the icing on the cake.”
“ Clive Uppington and I started The Window Outlet, but it isn’ t just about us. Our present success wouldn’ t have been possible without the hard work and dedication of dozens of staff, and this award is as much for them as it is for us. I’ d like to thank them for everything they’ ve done for the company over the past two years.”
