Polyframe – The largest
fleet in the industry?
When you fabricate in excess of 10,000
frames per week, you need to guarantee
that all deliveries are covered. With four
factories and a nationwide network of 14
trade centres, the logistics of organising
nationwide deliveries on a five day lead time
is a serious business. As a result Polyframe
recently invested in six, new 18-ton trucks,
one new 7.5-ton truck and two new 3.5-ton
Luton vans, taking the total number of
vehicles in the fleet to over 30.
Chris Watson, Group MD, commented,
“The Polyframe fleet has grown beyond
recognition over the past few years, from five
or six vehicles five years ago to the staggering
number we are at now. As a business we cover
the whole of the UK and Ireland so we need
to ensure that we can meet all our customers’
delivery schedules, on the tightest of lead
times.”
The new vehicles will be based at Halifax,
Norwich and the Composite Door factory in
Mansfield. Vehicles are central to Polyframe’s
‘Clearly Greener’ recycling scheme – all
vehicles bring post-consumer waste back to
their depots.
THE VEKA UK GROUP TO
EXHIBIT AT THE BUILD SHOW
Showcasing its high quality
PVC window and door profile
systems, The VEKA UK Group
is the latest exhibitor to join
the ranks at the inaugural Build
Show, to take place at the NEC
from 28-30 April 2015.
The Group will highlight
solutions from across its range
of products designed for the
construction, refurbishment and
home improvement industries.
The Group demonstrated its
position as the industry leader
in PVC-U systems with the
unveiling of the innovative
‘Imagine’ Bi-Fold Door during
2014 and this will be a key focus
on their stand at The Build Show,
along with the Flush French Door
from the same range.
It will also show the next
generation of the Matrix suite of
window profiles – M70. Fully
re-engineered and available
from 2015, this features an
updated chamfer style with more
contemporary lines. Additional
chambers increase thermal
performance to meet the current
and future requirements for more
energy-efficient glazing.
Paul Godwin, Build Show MD,
said: “We’re really pleased with
the way the event is taking shape
and support from high profile
companies such as The VEKA UK
Group is helping to make it really
special.”
