Celebrating 30 year partnership
»»THE FIT SHOW MARKED AN
exceptionally proud moment for both
REHAU and its customer, Dessian Products,
as the two companies celebrated a remarkable
30-year partnership.
REHAU’s UK Chief Executive, Martin
Hitchin, presented Dessian’s Managing
Director, Nigel Bothwell, with a certificate and
engraved trophy to mark the occasion on the
REHAU stand at the show.
Martin said: “We have been supplying
Dessian since 1986 when both businesses,
and indeed the whole industry, looked very
different to how it looks now. We’ve supported

each other through some difficult times and
celebrated together in some great times, and
I’m delighted that our partnership remains as
strong as ever.
“REHAU and Dessian are certainly now
two of the strongest names in the industry and

we’re continuing to look forward and plan for
future campaigns and initiatives together.”
Nigel agreed: “The Dessian brand is
synonymous with REHAU. We also share the
same commitment to quality and service and
it continues to be a very mutually beneficial
partnership.”
Nigel and the team from Dessian were
visiting the FIT show to see what was new
in the industry and had particular interest in
REHAU’s new AGILA range, especially the
new AGILA sliding door.

MOVING AND IMPROVING
»»INCREASED RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY
transactions in the UK is driving demand for
home improvement products and services.
The UK Property Transactions Count,
published in March 2016 by the HM Revenue
and Customs, shows that the residential
property transaction completions with a value
of £40,000 or above peaked in March 2016,
reaching 161,990 compared with 91,490 in
March 2015.
Jeremy Brett, Managing Director of the
Consumer Protection Association (CPA), says
the increase in properties exchanging hands is
creating profitable opportunities for builders
and installers.

He comments: “Most people
spruce up their homes before a
sale and after a purchase and this
can range anywhere from having
new windows and doors fitted
to complete refurbishments of
kitchens and bathrooms.
“This is good news for builders and
installers of these home improvement products
as the rising number of property transactions
means more home improvement projects
being carried out.”
However, Jeremy urges homeowners
looking to have home improvement work
carried out to seek a reputable and professional

tradesman: “Companies listed under approved
tradesmen schemes, such as the CPA, are
qualified for the job and can offer Insurance
Backed Guarantees and Deposit Protection to
protect the homeowner should anything go
wrong.”
