BUILDING ON A RECORD YEAR
Virtuoso Doors has laid the foundations for a strong
2019 with the announcement that it is on target to
achieve year on year growth of over 50%, making
2018 the best year ever in the firm’s 37-year history.
» » VIRTUOSO DOORS’ RECORD
streak has seen production rates accelerate
during the last 12 months – all culminating
in the company turning in a record-breaking
month in October where sales were more than
double those of the year before.
Tony Craggs, managing director, explains:
“We’ve developed a winning package for
customers, which is built on innovative
products and incredible support, and our
impressive results prove that it’s delivering
tangible results. I’m really proud of our
achievements, particularly when you consider
that we’ve consistently maintained our
industry-leading OTIF record of more than
99% as well. We are meticulous about quality
with every single door being manufactured to
exacting standards and we will always strive to
achieve the highest levels of craftsmanship and
service.”
The cornerstone of Virtuoso Doors growth
however is new product development and the
firm has credited much of its recent success
to Virtu-AL – the ultra-modern aluminium
textured, non-woodgrain finish composite
door – and its newly launched aluminium
outer frame. Virtuoso was the UK’s first
composite door manufacturer to create an
aluminium alternative composite door, and
the first to offer an aluminium frame for all of
its composite doors.
With a high-end architectural aluminium
appearance that’s virtually indistinguishable
from the real thing, Virtu-AL looks and feels
nothing like a traditional composite door, yet
it benefits from all the features. When teamed
with the sleek new aluminium frame, Virtu-
AL delivers the ultimate premium aluminium
look that modern homeowners desire.
A growing consumer appetite for
aluminium has driven demand of Virtu-AL
and the aluminium outer frame. Virtu-AL
is already in the top 5% of door styles sold
by Virtuoso, making it one of the firm’s best
sellers.
With a reputation for manufacturing
superior quality doors and providing
unrivalled personal service, Virtuoso
Doors is at the forefront of composite door
development. Virtuoso’s doors are made from
the most robust GRP skin for long lasting
good looks.
