G17 Awards
RECOGNISED WITH FABRICATOR
OF THE YEAR NOMINATION
» » RESPECTED ROOFLIGHT EXPERTS
Roof Maker have been shortlisted for
Fabricator of the Year, the most sought-after
category in the prestigious G17 Awards.
Since being bought by private equity group
Next Wave Partners LLP in November 2016,
the Roof Maker workforce has grown rapidly,
rising from around 59 to 90 employees, as the
firm has spent £250k in rapidly expanding its
presence in the trade sector.
Another £100k has gone into research and
development, producing two new cutting-edge
products - O-Lite, a distinctive circular roof
light, and LuxLite, the highest-specification
roof light currently available for pitched
roofs.
“It’s great for us to be recognised in this
way,” commented Roof Maker CEO Paul
Mildenstein. “We’ve been delighted with our
performance over the last twelve months –
we’ve seen a huge increase in turnover, driven
by some extremely successful new products.”
Triple-glazed, Argon-filled, and offering
U-values as low as 0.6 (good enough to meet
the demanding Passivhaus standard) Roof
Maker’s new generation of roof lights offer
exceptional thermal efficiency. Together with
their toughened glass and 20-year transferable
guarantee – twice the industry standard – it’s
a level of performance that marks them out as
truly best-in-class.
