PatioMaster West Midlands opens for business
In-line sliding patio door specialist PatioMaster has announced that PatioMaster West Midlands has opened for business and will be fabricating marketleading doors for customers.
The new dealership is based in Telford and is no stranger to the Epwin Group because it has been an Epwin customer for over 20 years.
The doors are perfect for design-conscious homeowners because of their elegant aesthetics, superb quality and wide range of configurations. Impressive security features such as a six-point locking system and a wide range of accessories add to the appeal. Doors fabricated by PatioMaster West Midlands will be fitted with a 3-star cylinder as standard.

Government commits £ 45M of funding to kick-start UK housebuilding
Housing and Planning Minister Dominic Raab has announced a £ 45 million cash injection into key community projects across the country, helping to facilitate the building of thousands of new homes.
The funding – allocated by the central government to help boost Britain’ s housebuilding industry, will be distributed to 79 projects from Newcastle to Plymouth. The aim is to support local councils in completing the necessary infrastructure work to unlock viable council-owned land and the building of 7,280 new homes.
The investment into the Land Release Fund is designed to help local councils open up enough council-owned land to build 160,000 homes by the end of the decade and support the Government’ s pledge of building on average 300,000 homes every year by the mid-2020s. Projects already set to benefit from the funding include a site in Paignton, Devon, where 200 homes are set to be built, in addition to a strategic council-owned site in Lancashire which will unlock over 300 homes.
