New Product Roll Out + Team Focus
Guardian Warm Roof Unveils New Business Development Manager.
NEW ADDITIONS TO THE
GUARDIAN ROOF RANGE
Simon will also need to keep pace with
the latest product information about
the widening Guardian Warm Roof
product range.
Joe added: “Simon is joining at a busy
time for Guardian. Our product range
is getting bigger and better all the
time. We are rolling out the Guardian
Extension launched earlier this year.
And our new glazed panel system called
Solstice will be launched soon.”
Solstice is a new stylish, integrated
rooflight system providing enhanced
levels of natural light. It is designed
exclusively for easy integration
and to be fitter friendly with the
Guardian Solid Roof System for both
conservatory roof conversions and the
Guardian Home Extension.

Guardian as it launches a new rooflight system
called Solstice whilst momentum builds in
the national roll out of the new lightweight
extension product - Guardian Extension.
Simon has worked in the conservatory
industry for over 20-years. He joins Guardian
from Lancashire conservatory supplier and
installer Specialised Conservatory Systems
where he was a director for 13 years. Before
that he worked for Ultraframe, where he had
been on the team for 11 years since he left
school in Clitheroe.
New Guardian Warm Roof business
development manager, Simon Bartlett,
said: “I already knew what a good system
the Guardian Roof was from working in
the industry. But I’d also dealt with Joe and
Ross from Guardian, on several occasions.
Whenever we spoke I was always struck by
their passion for their products and their
company. I know how hard they have worked
to get the brand to where it is today. So when
an opportunity arose to join the company I
couldn’t wait to get started.”
Simon will have three key national roles:
He’ll be a devoted resource for the
Guardian Installer network - Team Guardian.

His role will help over 500 installers all to
maximise sales and profits through a better
understanding of the product range.
Simon will also have an important role in
maintaining Guardian’s rigorous standards.
This will include product education and
cascading best practice. Key to this task
will be his relationship with the Guardian
fabricator network to support their installers
and build closer relationships in each UK
region.
Simon’s final key role will involve active
recruitment of new installers with most to
gain from the benefits of Team Guardian
membership. Each new installer will be
matched with a local fabricator to build
relationships that help them win more
business backed by the quality of the
Guardian Warm Roof portfolio of products.
For Guardian, Joe Kearney said: “For a
young guy – at just 41-years-old – Simon has
a wealth of industry knowledge and contacts.
I know our installers and fabricators will
take a shine to him. Simon understands the
realities of making a fabricator and installer
business work. He talks their language. And
this know-how will be a valuable resource for
all Team Guardian members.”
The Guardian Extension is a new breed
of high quality, versatile, affordable home
extension that protects installer margins
and offers customers a stylish robust
extension in a fraction of the time it
takes to complete a traditional build.
All the elements of the Guardian
Extension are pre-assembled, factory-
engineered modular construction for
superior build quality. High-performance
insulation provides superior energy
savings with zero on-site waste. This
transforms the homeowner build
experience. The versatile system boasts
a wide range of colours and finishes too.
There’s even a bespoke design service
to recommend and design the best
solution for every project. It’s all part
of the Guardian training and technical
support partnership from start to finish.
Guardian Warm Roof was the UK’s first solid
conservatory roof system in the country with
Local Authority Building Control (LABC) and
LABSS approval. Last year, Guardian became
the UK’s first replacement roof manufacturer to
satisfy the new LABC guidelines.
