New home improvement
partnership announced
» » VEKA TRADE FABRICATOR
Modplan has just announced a new
partnership with home improvement
specialists Leekes. The new partnership
will see Modplan being the main supplier
for all Leekes’ windows, selected doors and
conservatories and will manufacture products
using VEKA’s Halo System 10.
Frank Richardson, Glazing Sales Manager
at Leekes, said: “Last year Leekes fitted
over 10,000 windows, and the department
reached a turnover of over £15M. Our new
partnership with Modplan aims to grow this
volume and turnover significantly over the
next couple of years.”
Heidi Sachs, Managing Director of
Modplan, said: “We’ve built our business on a
partnership approach that adds value to every
customer.”
Modplan and Leekes have invested in an
exclusive manufacturing facility on Modplan’s
impressive fabrication site. The new facility
will use state of the art technology such as bar
code scanning that will track products from
manufacture to delivery and ensure maximum
efficiency at every stage of the process.
It’s a quality-led approach that matches
Modplan’s own commitment to product
excellence which runs throughout the
business.
Modplan will also support Leekes’
marketing, providing online and offline
marketing support to increase order
volumes and help Leekes meet its growth
expectations.

AGATE GREY ADDED TO 7-DAY COLOUR OPTION
» » SHEPLEY HAS ADDED
Agate Grey to its standard colour
range as part of its ‘Stop the Colours
Headache’ campaign for Visage
Installers. The addition means that
Visage PVCu windows and doors
are now available in 18 standard
colours on 7-day lead times.
Sales Director at Shepley, Tony
Ball explains: “By offering 18
colour options on 7-day delivery,
we can take away installers’ pain
of getting the coloured frames
that homeowners want without
holding up installation dates.
“Whilst the demand for white
PVCu is still high, more and
more homeowners are choosing
coloured frames for their home
improvements. By offering a wide
colour range on the same lead
times as our white windows and
doors, installers can be confident
that regardless of what their
customers want, they can book
in installations according to their
usual schedules.”
Shepley is the largest REHAU
sole fabricator, making them the
perfect partner for PVCu. Visage
‘book in installations
according to their
usual schedules’
frames have 5-chamber profiles
for great levels of energy efficiency
and are Secured by Design and
Document Q certified, too.
Shepley customers also benefit
from the full range of Visage
marketing literature and sales
support tools.
