Everything’s Moving on Up
With the market still continuing to see progressive
growth, reports are suggesting companies are gaining
more confidence, making moves into new markets
and further investment, helping their business grow.
Examples such as fabricator,
Rooms and Views, an established
manufacturer with a proven
track record of supplying PVCu
windows and doors into the
newbuild sector. The Flintshirebased company is now pushing
on with investment in new
product lines, machinery and
the development of its customer
service, to attract trade installers.

With the general elections
looming, we are seeing a buzz
of activity from the pre-election
campaigns, including encouraging
reports of how a government
scheme launched in 2012 for
small business ‘Start up Loans’
has just achieved a milestone of
