IMAGINATION IS THE

With over 36 years of British
manufacturing heritage and
expertise, it is safe to say that
Hallmark Panels Ltd is a forerunner
in the aluminium panel industry.
Customers can benefit
from swift lead times and
a reduction in expense due
to an efficient in-house pro-
duction that relies on zero
outsourcing.
‘

Managing Director, Lor-
raine Snell comments: “We
are proud of our manufac-
turing offerings. We boast
our own glass shop, laser
cutting machines and pow-
der coating facilities. These
internal facilities ensure we

Hallmark used its exper-
tise in the fabrication of
aluminium panels to create
architectural visual panels
for residential and commer-
cial door applications.
Imagination is the only
limitation with a complete-
ly bespoke service that
enables customers to design
a product that meets exact
specifications. Customers

sands of colour packs and

tion draws towards the end of its third year, the latest
round of winners has raised the bar with some incred-
ible designs.
The latest trio of Installation of the Month winners
are Monmouthshire Conservatory Company, Village
Conservatories and Hybrid Windows. All three compa-
nies are first-time winners of the award.
Monmouthshire Conservatory Company pulled out
all the stops with a breathtaking orangery that took
the place of an ageing timber conservatory.
Hybrid Windows created an impressive space in a
Cheltenham family home that can now be used all
year round. The outstanding installation, which incor-
porates floor to ceiling glazing and two Atlas lanterns,
replaced an old-fashioned conservatory.
Village Conservatories caught the judges’ eyes with
a striking L-shaped orangery that combines alumini-
um, reclaimed brick, glass and two large Atlas lanterns
to bring contemporary style to a traditional home.
Every month, an installer will win a £200 Screwfix
voucher and a £50 Majestic Wine voucher.

TRAVIS PERFORMANCE ON TRACK
Travis Perkins released
its Q3 trading update, with
headline performance as
follows:-
• Q3 Group sales growth
of 3.5% and like for like
sale growth 4.1%.
• Continued growth
across all businesses in
the Contracts Divi-
sion.
• Significant perfor-
mance improvement in
Plumbing & Heating
Division.
Chief executive John
Carter commented: “We have
delivered a good like for like
sales performance across the
group in the third quarter
against a challenging market
backdrop of input cost in-
flation and market volatility.
Volumes were broadly flat
with inflation driven price in-
creases the main component
of our like for like growth.
Whilst it is relatively early
days in the transformation
plan, it is encouraging to see
positive progress in the Heat-
ing & Plumbing Division.
“Trading conditions in
our markets continue to
be mixed, with consumer
discretionary spend under
pressure from rising infla-
tion and on-going uncertain-
ty in the UK economy. We
maintain our confidence in
the long-term fundamental
drivers of our markets and
this underpins our plan
to invest in our business
to improve our customer
propositions and extend our
competitive advantage.”
FARMHOUSE RETURNED TO FORMER GLORY
Sheffield’s ADM Windows
has just given a stone farmhouse
in Maltby, South Yorkshire, a new
lease of life by installing 17 Spec-
tus Flush Casement windows and
one bay window.
Aaron Fountain, Director of
ADM Windows, said: “Our custom-
er wanted to replace the ageing
timber windows of his farmhouse
and replace them with high
quality windows that would en-
hance the heritage look and offer
modern day thermal efficiency and
security.”
The project was a dual colour
one – black on the exterior and
white on the interior. The result is
a sleek, beautiful finish that has
helped to return the farmhouse to
its former glory.
This installation is the latest in
a growing number of projects for
ADM Windows that involve the
Spectus Flush Casement. Aaron
comments: “We’ve seen a tremen-
dous growth in interest in the
Spectus Flush Casement window
since we added it to our portfo-
lio.”
