commercial installer
The Window Company

the gong for ‘Installer

second year in succession, while Aberdeen’s
Thistle Windows and
Conservatories got
‘Conservatory Installer

The Window Company
(Contracts) has worked with
many public authorities and
housebuilders throughout
the south east since its
inception, and it was at the
FIT Show that the company
met Glazerite and went on
to work on projects together.
Thistle Windows and Conservatories has won 22 national and regional awards
in its 20-y ear history. With
its ‘VIP Customer Lounge’
giving it the edge over the
competition, the judges said
of Thistle: “They demonstrated an exceptional level
of customer service and
consideration to their clients
with extremely satisfied customers who felt the company had performed over and
above their expectations.”
On hand to congratulate
its customers personally,
Glazerite Director Jason
Thompson said: “It’s always
great to see a customer get-
ting the recognition they deserve, especially when they
work so hard. Celebrating
the success of both Thistle
and The Window Company was fun and we wish
them nothing but continued
success.”
