Pyramid open dedicated
Guardian Roof factory
Norwich-based trade fabricator Pyramid
Windows has opened a new factory to
manufacture the Guardian Warm Roof.
The new 6,000 sq ft factory is on the same
estate as Pyramid’s main factory which
continues to produce Synseal Shield, Synerjy
windows and doors and Global conservatory
& orangery roofs. Pyramid has invested in
state-of-the-art machinery for the new factory
to help keep up with demand for the Guardian
Roof which is the only solid tiled roof on the
market that has full Local Authority Building
Control Approval.
Ian explains: “By working with our local
authority, CNC Norfolk Local Authority,
we’ve created a footpath to make it quick
and easy for installers to gain approval on all
Guardian projects. If the installation takes
place in Norfolk we will notify CNC Norfolk
Local Authority, who will sign it off once the
installer has paid the £150 approval charge.
If in another area, CNC will liaise with the
relevant local authority on behalf of the
installer, simplifying the approval process – so
installers can spend more time making money
and less dealing with red tape.”
Driving home
the Network
VEKA message
Network VEKA members are
encouraging their customers to
‘get behind’ the organisation
and its Brand Ambassador
Steve Davis, by employing the
latest van livery from Network
VEKA.
John Ogilvie, Network VEKA
MD, explains: “Our latest
initiative aims to encourage more
members to utilise the back
of their vans to promote the
Network VEKA message.
“The livery on the back of a
vehicle is one of the most useful
advertising media that companies
can make use of. We have created
a stylish template that we think
reflects the professionalism
8
APR 2014
and quality that customers can
expect from a Network VEKA
member. “To ensure that member
companies don’t miss out,
we’re offering it as a subsidised
service: we would provide the
designed artwork - which will be
personalised with the company
logo, business colours and email
address.
“Once the company has had
the livery printed and applied,
members simply need to send us
a photograph of the completed
van to receive a rewarding £100
cash back.”
