IN THE LEAD WITH GLAZERITE
AT 7TH TOWCESTER RACE DAY
Glazerite Windows Ltd recently
celebrated its seventh consecutive Race
Day at Towcester’s famous racecourse
– organised as a thank you to its
loyal customer base, with 160 guests
representing 50 or so companies in
attendance.
Glazerite sponsored the entire meet
incorporating some of the new products
they’re set to launch at the FIT Show into
race names, such as R9 and Solidor - the
20:20 R9 race was won by racing legends A
P McCoy and trainer Jonjo O’Neil..
With Ladies Evening the night’s main theme,
many ladies donned their glad rags and hats
competing for the evening’s ‘Best Dressed’
award – for a £500 cash prize and Gucci
watch. Dan Legg of The KJM Group helped
judge and presented the winning prize. Guests
also enjoyed a performance from the The
‘Take That Experience.’
Glazerite Director Jason Thompson said:
“We really appreciate customer loyalty - you
don’t get the opportunity to show this on a
day to day basis so this is just a small token of
our appreciation.”

SYNSEAL’S GO-KARTING
CHALLENGE IS A WINNER!
David Leng, Chief Executive of Synseal,
issued a fun Go-Karting Challenge to guests
at an orangery workshop conducted on
behalf of the Conservatory Outlet Dealer
Network, which was attended by 19 dealer
companies and jointly hosted by Greg Kane,
Conservatory Outlet MD recently.
Following a series of technical presentations
detailing Synseal’s range of structural orangery
solutions, the event venue switched to the
nearby Kurburgring Go-Kart racing circuit
close to Synseal’s 35-acre HQ in Huthwaite,
Nottinghamshire.
With training on race track safety
procedures, basic kart driving skills and
competition rules completed, all drivers
were issued with overalls, gloves and helmets
and with a heady mix of noisy engine and
screeching tyres a strong sense of competitive
spirit soon took grip.
Three experienced motorsport guest racers
achieved lap times of under 29 seconds –
the winning driver was Edward Westbury
of 5-Star Windows & Conservatories
with a lap time of 28.001 seconds, who
closely pipped his 5-Star colleague Richard
Manser into 2nd place while Alan Pain of
County took 3rd place ahead of Synseal’s
best-performing driver Phil Parry, Head of
R&D, who clocked a respectable 28.861
seconds.
