#FridayFlyer initiative announced
SMARTGLASS®, the
UK’s most respected
and broadest range of
conservatory glass, have
just launched a #FridayFlyer
initiative, which promises
a free upgrade to a pre-
midday delivery on a Friday.
» » THIS NEW INITIATIVE IS PART OF A
promotion that will last until 20th October
for orders, with the last delivery on 27th
October 2017 just before British Summer
Time concludes. This will be great news for
installation teams and companies looking to
fully glaze a conservatory on a Friday, before
the weekend.
The offering is also another perfect
indication of how Clayton Glass,
the company behind the important
SMARTGLASS® brand, looks at ever better
ways in which to engage with their customer
network and it is thanks to their unique
logistics arrangements that this campaign
can be fully achieved. For the last two years,
the company has also been voted IGU
Manufacturer of the Year at the National
Fenestration Awards.
The #FridayFlyer initiative is applicable
to all paid for deliveries for any mainland
UK postcodes and across the whole
SMARTGLASS® range, including the market
leading Ultra 86 product, which provides for
the best performing product in the sector.

Back in Business with Roy Frost at the Helm
» » THE MANUFACTURING FACILITY
in Stoke-on-Trent, of leading trade
fabricator, Lister Trade Frames, has been
acquired by well-known industry figure Roy
Frost and his group GJB Holdings. Backed
by North West-based entrepreneur Alan
Rothwell, the deal will secure around 70
jobs in Stoke-on-Trent. VEKA/HALO will
continue to be the main strategic partner,
together with the premium Residence
Collection, Solidor, and the full range of
ALUK Aluminium.
The £12m turnover company made several
investment decisions that failed to deliver expected
results and it was placed into administration on
the 29th August. The administrators received
over 25 enquiries from interested parties. GJB
Holdings, with the assistance Kevin Philbin
of Beyond Corporate, are delighted to be the
successful new owners. The new structure sees
two existing directors, Phil Warren and Darren
Pusey, continuing in the new management team.
Roy commented: “Listers have been a great
business for 40 years. Their reputation was
built on supplying innovative products with
great levels of service backed up by superb
marketing support, and we will develop
and improve on this. We will keep it simple
and get back to basics, focusing on our core
products and remove any distractions.”
