CONSERVATORIES
Giving independence back
to injured homeowner
» » FRAMES CONSERVATORIES
Direct (FCD), based in Bury
St Edmunds, has completed a
conservatory for a local caretaker
who was left partially paralysed after
a devastating fall.
MD and Owner of FCD,
Adrian Lewis, contacted Colin
White and his wife Jo to offer
assistance after reading their story
in the local paper.
Adrian explains: “I saw that
the family were hoping the
community would help them in
some way to build a conservatory
at the back of their home. It
would mean that Colin, who
suffered spinal cord damage to his
neck after a fall down the stairs,
could look out onto his garden
again.
“Colin is now tetraplegic
and has very limited mobility.
Being able to watch the birds
and look out over the garden in
a light-filled space would be a
real benefit and, with a ramp, the
conservatory would also enable
Colin to access the garden more
easily.
“I picked up the phone straight
away and offered to help to
make sure Colin got what he
needed, and to try and improve
his quality of life as much as we
possibly could. The project was
completed swiftly and the Whites
were thrilled. They thought they
would have had to fundraise a
lot more than they did, and they
hadn’t expected the work to begin
so quickly.
“We were proud to give all
our time free of charge. We also
approached our suppliers for help
with the cost of materials, and our
fabricator partner The Glazerite
UK Group Ltd was incredibly
supportive.
“We’ve been a Glazerite
customer for five years and the
team really came through for us
here; donating product worth
over £1500! Glazerite supplied
the conservatory frame and
windows and, as always, we were
able to provide Independent
Network’s Ten Year Insurance-
Backed Guarantee on the product
and installation, because Glazerite
is also a proud IN member.”
Glazerite’s Group Managing
Director Jason Thompson said:
“It’s always a pleasure to work
with the FCD team, because
our companies share the same
commitment to quality, service
and craftsmanship. This job
was particularly important
and rewarding, given the
circumstances.”
