G17 AWARD FINALIST IN TWO CATEGORIES
» » IT’S A DOUBLE WHAMMY FOR
Customade Group’s REAL Aluminium brand,
which has been named as finalist in not one,
but two categories at the forthcoming G17
awards.
REAL Aluminium is a finalist in two awards
– ‘New Product of the Year’ and ‘Promotional
Campaign of the Year - Trade’. The winners
will be announced at the awards ceremony and
gala dinner which will be held
at the London Hilton on 17
November.
The nomination for New
Product of the Year recognises
REAL Aluminium’s growth to
become one of the industry’s
biggest new brands. Launched
just a year ago to fill a gap in the market for
readily available aluminium products, REAL
Aluminium brings the industry’s widest
range of aluminium fenestration products
within easy reach of the installer. It has cut
lead times to just two weeks and helped
installers to advance into the lucrative world of
aluminium.
The ‘easy as child’s play’ campaign behind
REAL Aluminium catapulted the brand
to phenomenal success in its first year.
Victoriously spreading the message throughout
the industry that aluminium doesn’t need
to be complicated, the campaign has been
nominated for Promotional Campaign of the
Year - Trade.
