A CHAMPION’S WIN
FOR TUFFX!
The recent win for TuffX Brand ambassador, David
Price, has placed the former British heavyweight
champion back in the top ten ranking.
David, who has 17 wins to his record
including 15 Knock Outs, stopped Euro
level heavyweight Ondrej Pala (33-5, 23
KO’s) on 12 April 2014 at the Blue Water
Dokken, Esbjerg, in Denmark.
Initially, David was caught off balance when
Pala threw one of his few power shots of the
fight, but he fought back and came on strong
in the second round by landing a couple of
strong right hand punches which sent Pala
dropping to the canvas. After a second
knockdown, referee Freddy Rafn halted the
fight at 0:33 of the third round.
Graham Price, Managing Director at TuffX
reports positive response to the company’s
sponsorship of David. “I have been very
surprised. I had not realised how many people
followed the sport.”
David will be back in the ring next month
to face 39-year-old Yaroslav Zavorotnyi (16-6,
14 KO’s) from the Ukraine in a scheduled
8 round fight at the Sport and Congress
Center, Schwerin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,
Germany on 7 June. Good luck David!

A GLAZE OF GLORY FROM FRAMEXPRESS
For a project that required
only the finest in terms
of product quality and
craftsmanship, frameXpress
Ltd was the preferred window
and door supplier for a
commercial college project
in Cambridgeshire. The
restoration of a number
of staff apartments which
are part of a constituent
college at the University of
Cambridge, required tailored
solutions to complete their
transformation.

JUL 2014
The renovation at Murray
Edwards College is the first phase
of a huge restoration project
which must respect the original
features of the building.
More than £25,000 has been
invested in new windows, doors
and French doors, which being
in a conservation area, required
Local Authority approval.
Insulation and easy maintenance
were pre-requisites stipulated by
the frameXpress customer.
As a supplier of premium
products with a reputation for
excellence, the quality guarantees
were already known to the
frameXpress customer who was
responsible for this phase of the
restoration.
The frameXpresss traditional
range provided the ideal solution
for a project that required
meticulous attention to detail
and a highly skilled team to
achieve successful results. Every
care was made to ensure that all
component parts reflected the
high standards associated with a
Cambridge University College.
