Marking a Fabulous Year
»»Dealers’ and staffs dedication
were recognised at Conservatory Outlet
following record-breaking results obtained in
2014, where the fabricator reported its busiest
calendar year yet.
Managing director, Greg Kane, commented:
“We had an exceptional year due to the efforts
of our dealer network. Their sustained growth
translated into a 30% surge in our output,
allowing us to invest in new machinery and
increase production capacity. On the other
hand, it was our employees’ dedication that
made it possible for us to deliver products on
short lead times, regardless of volumes.”
The Yorkshire based fabricator has recently
started to implement a series of measures
which enables its employees to take ownership
of their work, and t-shirts were produced and
issued after the excellent results, and feature
every employee’s name, alongside production
statistics and images.
“Myself, as well as the rest of the managerial
team would like to say a big thank you to our
dealer network, and staff, for their hard work.”
Greg added.

“Big Hearted” industry
sponsor charity walk
»»The generosity of the window
industry has put Emplas’ Mike Crewdson
among the top 1% of charity fundraisers on
the Just Giving fundraising website in 2014.
Mike completed his 218 mile coast-tocoast walk across the North of England in
just ten days to raise more than £22,000,
doubling his original target, for St Ann’s
Hospice in Manchester and Tapping House
Hospice in Norfolk.
Taking on the challenge in the memory
of his late wife Rosemary Crewdson, Mike
set out supported by colleagues from the
window industry from St Bees in Cumbria
on the Irish Sea on the second anniversary of
her death, 21st May last year, and finished
the walk at Robin Hood’s Bay ten days later.
He was sponsored by Emplas, T&K Home
Improvements, Ecostar Double Glazing,
Profile 22, Total Glass and Total Hardware,
but received donations nationwide.
Mike said: “The window industry always
rallies behind good causes but I was really
blown away by the support we got last
year.
“Once again my thanks go out to all those
who have supported me along the way.”
