GLAZERITE DEBUTS THE FIRST OF ITS
EVO SATELLITE TRAINING DAYS
After reaching a landmark figure of
£100million in sales, fabricator Glazerite
Windows LTd is now investing in
supporting new and existing customers
with online quoting and ordering and
customising of a system to suit their
business via a series of regionalised Evo
Satellite training days.
Held on 19 March 2014 at VEKA PLC,
customers from locations across Scotland,
England and Wales were on hand to offer
valuable feedback to Glazerite during the
first of many scheduled training days. Also
enjoying a tour of VEKA’s manufacturing and
warehouse operation, Glazerite customers
heard an update from Austin Greene on the
MTC scheme.
Chris Hatch of Glazerite was commended
for his effort in keeping the day pitched for
people with various levels of knowledge; Frank
Williams from Liverpool “enjoyed a very
informative day”; Lauren Wilcox from Bolton
“felt more confident in online ordering,”
while Mike Dashper from Stranraer “now has
a better understanding of the capabilities of
online quoting and ordering.”
Peter Smith, Glazerite Northern Divisional
Sales Manager commented: “The day garnered
a positive response and everyone who took
part contributed to its success.”

Edgetech UK (a Quanex company) supported
Taw and Torridge Classic Bike Club on a rideout with a difference recently.
More than 300 Easter eggs, over 100 donated

Northam Lodge Children’s Hospice South West,
Chelfham Mill School and The Caroline Thorpe
Ward at North Devon District Hospital as part
of the club’s annual Easter charity event which
was co-organised by Edgetech Territory Sales
Manager, Mel Jones.
Mel says: “The ride-out is always a fantastic
event. It’s great to see the kids’ faces when
the bikes turn up outside and we hand
out the chocolate eggs to everyone. We
organise the egg run every year and anyone is
welcome to take part. All you need is a bike
and a couple of eggs. “We’re really grateful
to Edgetech and everyone who donated eggs.
We had so many this year that we were able
to do deliveries to more hospitals than ever
before!”
What would you do
with an extra £300?
This is being asked by The Fuelcard People,
