SMOOTH TRANSITION
Long-standing Halo customer , UFiT Windows of Hemel Hempstead has continued its successful relationship with The VEKA UK Group systems supplier , with a universal changeover to Halo ’ s renowned System 10 profile . |
System 10 has long been a ‘ goto ’ profile for both domestic and commercial applications , relied upon for its technical prowess , thermal performance and versatile looks . “ With this one system , we are able to produce a comprehensive range of window |
styles , as well as residential doors and frames ,” explains Mark Richards , sales director for UFiT Windows . “ We were naturally a little apprehensive about such a significant overhaul in our manufacturing , but Ian McNiffe – one of The VEKA UK Group ’ s technical service engineers – made it such a smooth transition , there was barely any downtime in production .
“ VEKA ’ s backing helps to instil customer confidence in virtually any situation ”, Mark continues . “ The marketing support gives us access to customisable , professionally designed promo materials , helping us make the right first impression in print , on our vehicles , and in our showroom . We ’ ve just updated our extensive displays with System 10 products , and they look great . It ’ s an exciting time for UFiT Windows and our continuing relationship with Halo .”
