EVOLVE SALES - EVOLVING FAST!
Benefiting from the experienced and
focussed team leadership of Evolve
Fabricated Products Sales Manager Sarah
Starkey, sales of the Evolve range of
specialist PVC-U products from Synseal are
growing fast.
The Evolve business unit is poised to surpass
£8 million sales turnover at the close of the
current financial year ending March 2014.
Order values for Evolve Vertical Sliders are
continuing to increase at a rate of over 20%
year on year, while demand for Evolve Bi-fold
doors and Evolve Patio doors have more than
doubled - and are forecast to grow strongly
again during 2014-15.
LINIAR SPONSORS
2014 MASTER FITTER
CHALLENGE
During last year’s FIT Show
the industry saw the first
ever Master Fitter Challenge,
where the skills of window,
door and conservatory
installers from all over the UK
were put to the test in front of
thousands of their peers.
2014 looks set to attract even
more entries – and who better
to be headline sponsor this
year’s Master Fitter Challenge
than Liniar?
Liniar will provide installers
with the opportunity to get
hands-on experience with the
company’s range of advanced
thermally efficient and fitterfriendly products, and the
chance to witness the innovative
designs that have made Liniar
the most sought-after range on
the market.
Howard Hirst, Liniar Sales
Director commented:
“Sponsoring the FIT Show
Master Fitter Challenge is the
logical next step for us; it’s our
opportunity to engage with the
installer market directly and to
let those who don’t currently

‘they will be
amazed at the
ease and speed
with which Liniar
windows can
be installed’
use our products see first-hand
the many features and benefits
we’ve designed specifically
for them. I think they will be
amazed at the ease and speed
with which Liniar windows can
be installed”.
Fully manufactured and CE Marked
by Synseal, the Evolve range is designed
to assist Synseal’s fabricator partners who
do not want the disruption of making
specialist sliding sash, bi-fold doors or patio
doors, allowing them to concentrate on
manufacturing PVC-U casement windows
and doors.
Sarah says: “Product investments like the
patio low thresholds are helping to boost
our sales growth and we’ll soon have a new
deep bottom rail design option for Evolve
VS. Feedback in response to the recent
patio door product improvements has been
very positive.”
Stuga expands
with Ten HR
Stuga Machinery have
become synonymous with the
manufacture of high quality
British machine tools for the
cutting and preparation of
PVCu and Aluminium profiles
for the window and associated
industries over last 20 years.
In order to maintain high levels
of service and meet the needs
of new installations, Stuga has
employed the services of Ten HR
to source high calibre field service
engineers.
‘little hesitation’
Steve Haines comments, “We
first used Ten HR in 2006, and
still employ the same engineers
today, we put our heads together
then and agreed the type of
individuals we needed at the time.
They came back with a selection
of people that met our needs.”
“The fact that seven years later
both are still with us, left us with
little hesitation in going back to
Ten again. We have now increased
our field service team with the
appointments of Mark Churches
and Andrew Wright.”
Bill of Ten HR comments, “It’s
always nice to deal with a client
that recognises that you are not
just interested in filling a iven
job, but is also concerned with
the long term.”
