Installers get informal
introduction at open day
» DEKKO WINDOW
Systems is celebrating a recent
Open Day; where the Dekko
team recently took over the
stunning Residence Collection
showrooms in Gloucester to give
installers in the area an informal
introduction to the timber-effect
range.
The event generated a
positive turnout from both local
installers and home improvement
companies, with considerable
interest surrounding Residence²,
Residence 7 and the marquee
Residence 9.
In addition to product displays
and demonstrations, the event
provided an opportunity for
installers to quiz teams from both
Dekko and Residence, and ask
any questions. Break-out sessions
took place throughout the day
covering all things technical,
surveying and installation. There
was also a masterclass from Sarah
Hitchings, Sales and Marketing
Director at Residence.
Kurt Greatrex, Sales Director
at Dekko comments: “We’re
absolutely delighted with the
positive response to our recent
open day. As one of the UK’s
largest Residence fabricators, we
saw it as a fantastic opportunity
to really showcase this valuable
range and buoyant market to a
new group of ambitious installers.
It was also a tremendous
opportunity to highlight the
valuable proposition Dekko offers
as a nationwide supplier.”
