SENSATIONAL SIX MONTHS
SEES RECORD-BREAKING YEAR
» » ONE OF THE SOUTH’S
leading installers is celebrating
two sensational quarters of
sales and growth, topping an
impressive 2017-2018.
Last financial year, Worthing-
based Newview Windows
registered a 38% increase in
turnover on 2016-2017 – but
since April 2018, the thriving
firm is already up a further 43%
on the previous twelve months’
figures.
It’s something Managing
Director Michele Wietscher puts
down to the firm’s tireless efforts
to perfect product quality and
customer service - and surging
interest in its widely respected
commercial installation services.
“Striving for excellence is very
much part of the culture here
at Newview,” she says. “Over
the years, we’ve been extensively
investing in skills and equipment,
constantly scrutinising every
aspect of the business to ensure
it’s as good as it can possibly be -
and now, that approach is paying
dividends.
“It’s allowed us to steadily
build an enviable reputation in
the commercial sector, which,
in the past few years, has seen us
land some extremely lucrative
projects.”
For a number of years, the
firm has been working to support
Heathrow’s ongoing expansion,
and more recently it’s been
contributing to the £400m
expansion programme of London
City Airport.
