2014PREDICTIONS
ON THE ROAD TO GROWTH
WITH BIGGER, BETTER FLEET
Glazerite is keeping ahead of ever-growing
demand with a bigger fleet and more
efficient trucks for 2014.
The first of the new vehicles, a Fuso Canter
7.5 tonne impressed the fabricator so much
with its light weight body and increased load
capacity that it immediately ordered a second
– and it may not be long before it plans on
adding more.
Record sales throughout 2013 – combined
with increased orders for bigger, heavier
products – meant the existing fleet would
soon have been at capacity, said director Jason
Thompson, and therefore the additional
vehicles were essential to uphold the
company’s reputation for service and quick
turnaround.
“When we deliver to every part of mainland
Britain at least once a week, our customers
quite rightly expect us to be able to meet
deadlines. Also, much of our growth in
demand has been in heavier products such as
VS, bi-folds, composite and patio doors. The
Canters have 30% more payload than some of
our existing fleet so will cope with that easily.
“We now produce over 2,400 frames a week
and the extended fleet will provide us with a
delivery capacity in excess of 3,000 frames per
week.”

“Phenomenal” year of trading
As they fast approach their
first decade in business,
Sunsquare Ltd are celebrating a
“phenomenal” year of trading in
2013.
The UK’s market leading
flat roof skylight designers and
manufacturers, Sunsquare have
seen an incredibly successful last 12
months with turnover more than
30 per cent up on 2012.
The Suffolk-based company
celebrates its 10th birthday on
16th January 2014, and has
enjoyed double-figure growth every
year since launch. Sunsquare also
recently moved factories into a new
state-of-the-art facility in a bid to
cope with increasing demand.
“We have experienced significant
growth every single year since our
launch in 2004 but this year has
been particularly phenomenal,”
said Justin Seldis, Managing
Director.
Sunsquare is preparing to
showcase its new lantern/pyramid
product as well as new opening
skylight products at Grand Designs
Live London 2014.
“We’re really excited about
exhibiting our new products at
Grand Designs Live in May. With
a prominent display area we’re
confident our pioneering rooflight
technology and contemporary style
will shine on a global scale,” said
Seldis.
