Conference to help customers
“get ahead and adapt”
» » “THERE AREN’T MANY EVENTS
where you would find the latest industry
insight, real business support, dispute

and a talk about the rise of the robots,” says
Jay Patel, Sales & Marketing Director at
Everglade Windows. “But, we like to do things

The Everglade Trade Customer Conference
is back for its 12th consecutive year, and
London’s number one fabricator has
arranged a jam-packed speaker line-up
to help customers get ahead and adapt to
an increasingly challenging market. The
Delivering Certainty conference will be held
at Everglade Windows’ West London HQ on
Thursday 5th July 2018.
Jay continues, “As usual, we’ll be kicking
things off with lunch, before we hear from our
expert speakers in their presentations. We’ll
also be launching some exciting new products
and tools to help customers get even more
from Everglade.
“Among the expert line-up, we have leading
corporate lawyers, Carter Bond talking
about the Consumer Rights Act. Executive
Chairman of Certass and Trustmark Director
Jon Vanstone will be giving us the low-down
on Government policy and construction
industry best practice.”.
