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.”
