NEW NETWORK DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

»»
ALREADY RECOGNISED AS THE most influential composite door brand in the UK, Solidor is set to enhance its credentials further with the launch of a new, powerful Network Development Programme for 2018. First up is an upgrade of the Installer Search Engine on solidor. co. uk.
Designed to offer consumers complete transparency when selecting a door supplier, the aim of the new initiative is to promote the facilities of their nearest Solidor retailer via a postcode driven search.
Trade partners are no longer categorised as‘ Premium’ and‘ Recommended’ and have instead been replaced by a series of icons which represent a number of business criteria and standards. These were assessed, following a trade audit carried out in 2017, and cover a variety of relevant measures, such as the nature of any showroom, what product they offer, and even whether they have FENSA or CERTAS certification.
There is also a further icon for those companies that manufacture their own Solidor using a different frame, hardware and accessories. All designed to inform the consumer and give them a better understanding of the business that they are potentially working with.
