A MARKET DRIVEN BY HOME IMPROVEMENTS

2020 has been a tough year for many businesses within the fenestration industry and some of the industry heavy hitters are either gone or have been significantly reshaped . Thankfully , it has not all been doom and gloom and there are many winners as a market driven by home improvements went stratospheric .
With ongoing investment in new vehicles , additional staff and the expansion of their delivery coverage , Made for Trade really do mean business as they enter 2021 in a strong position with some exciting new developments on the brink of release into the market .
MFT is expanded its fleet of delivery vehicles ; adding 10 new vehicles equipped
with another MFT design innovation , changing the way products are handled both at the factory and also at delivery sites . Health and safety is one of MFT ’ s top priorities when it comes to the welfare of their staff and the safe delivery of their products . As such , the new 12-tonne Rollaflex vehicles have been commissioned from a local vehicle supplier with the functional design concept provided
by the engineering team at MFT . The brief was to come up with a cost-effective loading and unloading solution which minimised the risks associated with manual lifting and provided a safe means of working at a height . Once at the customer ’ s site , the driver conducts a risk assessment , cordons off the area and uses an articulated crane mounted to the vehicle bed for the safe and secure unloading of the
door from the wagon to the ground in readiness for the customer to collect .
The addition of more vehicles to the fleet also allows MFT to increase their delivery coverage area to include several new postcodes in Scotland . This move , the implementation of the first phase of a larger growth plan , cements the company ’ s intention to provide their top class service to customers that
had previously struggled to obtain MFT door products alongside the Korniche lantern roof which is delivered nationwide .
