DECEMBER 2018 | 13 News Read online at www.proinstaller.co.uk Eurocell sets to improve image of the window and door installer market with launch of approval scheme Eurocell, the UK’s leading manufacturer, distributor and recycler of PVC-U windows and doors, has launched the Eurocell Select approved installer scheme which aims to develop a trusted network of installers across the UK. Eurocell’s new initiative – Saint-Gobain Building Glass celebrates second Win Your Windows Back competition winner A couple from Bognor Regis have become the second winners of the Win Your Windows Back competition from Saint-Gobain Building Glass, winning over £6,000 to cover the cost of their new Planitherm windows. After spending £6256.20 re- placing all the upstairs windows of their home, as well as glass in their front and back doors, with Planitherm Energy Standard glass, the couple were encour- aged to enter by local Planitherm installation company, Wayne Windows. Saint-Gobain Building Glass is currently running its Win Your Windows Back competition quarterly, where entrants have the chance to win up to £10,000 towards the cost of new high-per- formance windows, to mark the launch of its revitalised Planitherm Network. The first winner of the competi- tion, Karen Bulmer from East Sus- sex, was so impressed with her new Planitherm windows that, after win- ning back the total cost of £3894, she has since chosen Planitherm installers from Heathfield Windows to fit a new front door, while her parents and their neighbours are also having new fascias and soffits installed through the business. www.planitherm.com which is backed by CERTASS and FENSA - will allow installers of Eurocell windows and doors to gain certification following a training course and aims to help tradespeople overcome what is often deemed a ‘cowboy image’ within the industry and provide customers with peace of mind when selecting an installer. Free training will be held at var- ious locations across the UK and will include both practical instal- lation auditing to industry quality standards and classroom sessions, covering health and safety, use of PPE, and window and door instal- lation/uninstallation. Eurocell will also provide free product and installation training for all products covered within the scheme, plus top tips to overcome common issues. Once trained and certified, installers will qualify for lead referrals, marketing support, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service and additional advice. Eurocell is looking to recruit 350 domestic trade installers and 60 specification installers - who will all receive free TrustMark accreditation - onto the scheme. Those interested in the Eurocell Select scheme should call 0800 988 3049 or visit eurocell.co.uk. Support can be offered to those wishing to transfer from existing schemes. eurocell.co.uk ANNUAL REVIEW A ‘PREMIER’ YEAR FOR ROOF COMPANY Established just seven years ago, Premier Roof Systems of South Tyne- side is celebrating the end of what has been a fantastic 12 months. Highlights for the conservatory roof specialist for 2018 has included its revenue going up by 45%; which is no doubt due to sales targets broken every month throughout the year, launching a full new range of uPVC and aluminium products; by partnering with some of the UK’s lead- ing manufacturers, and the introduc- tion of new internal processes to meet growing demand and take the Pre- mier Roof Systems customer service promise to the next level, for 2018 and beyond. From a personnel point of view, the Pre- mier team has evolved at every level, from taking on new apprentices to support the local community, and let young trainees reach their future career goals, to launch- ing an Approved Installer Network to offer homeowners and end users a complete service from design to installation, to restricting the business by taking on new member of staff to reinvigorating the board of directors to allow each member a specific responsibility: Pouya Bostani – Managing Director, Chris Mullen – Sales Director, Jamie Blackwood – Finance & Operations Director.
