The world’s largest and

Glazing Federation (GGF) is
pleased to announce that it
will be exhibiting at Glass-
tec, in Dusseldorf on the
23rd to 26th of October.
As Glasstec celebrates its
25th anniversary it prom-
ises to be the biggest and
best show yet and the GGF
is pleased to extend an
invitation to all Member
Companies to visit the GGF
Hospitality Area in Hall 11,

product testing.

increase turnover by 60% in
its first year is very impres-
sive, but that’s precisely
what Chester-le-Street
installer Arc Home Design
is on course to achieve
thanks to the opening of
a new showroom and a
partnership with one of the
industry’s leading names –
Customade Group.
Owner Anthony
McKeough set up Arc Home
Design just six months ago
to offer homeowners across
the North-East a wide range
of PVCu and aluminium
windows, doors and glazed
roof systems. Rather than
source his products from
several different suppliers
though, Anthony was keen
to partner with one full
service supplier who could
provide not only the variety
of top quality products he
wanted, but also offer the
service and showroom and
marketing support he need-
ed. That partner is Custo-
made Group.
“Customade has been
absolutely superb,” says
Anthony. “It’s brilliant to
find a partner who is so
willing to put in the effort
to help me grow, diversify
and make my business
stand out in customers’
minds by offering some-
thing different.”

Rapid growth leads to new Director role
Insight Data’s general
manager, Jade Greenhow,
has been promoted to the
newly created role of Oper-
ations Director following a
year of rapid growth for the
business.
In her new role, Jade
will have a greater strategic
responsibility as well as
overseeing the daily running
of the business including
the firm’s sales, research
and software development
operations. She will work
closely with Insight Data’s
Managing Director Andrew
Scott.
Jade comments: “This is
an incredibly proud moment
becoming a Director of such
a fantastic company. In the
seven years I’ve been at
Insight we’ve grown from
a small data provider to
become an integral part of
the glazing and construction
industry.
“Data is undoubtedly a
hot topic at the moment
as GDPR comes into force.
As regulations change, the
need for a fully-compliant
data supplier which can
help businesses effectively
target new customers will
only become greater – and
I look forward to helping
more businesses through
this changing landscape.”
Speaking on the appoint-
ment, Insight Data Manag-
ing Director Andrew Scott
adds:
“It has been a busy year
with over 50 new customers
switching to Insight for their
prospect data, direct market-
ing or CRM software.”
