BWM has just opened a
showroom at its Pontypridd
headquarters; a dedicated
LEKA section will allow cus-
tomers can to see the roofs
up close. They can also find
out more about everything
they have to offer, includ-
ing the U value of just
0.15Wm2/K that means their
conservatory can be the
year-round space they’ve
always wanted.
Victoria Moreton at
BWM, said: “LEKA roofs are
proving popular in the re-
placement roof market and
we’re seeing more and more
customers are asking for
LEKA by name. The product
versatility, overall design
and quickness of installation
have proven popular with
our customers and this new
dedicated display will show
off the quality of the roofing
products.”
BWM is one of South
Wales leading manufacturers
and installers and oper-
ates in the domestic and
commercial markets. Its new
showroom looks set to take
it to new heights – and in-
troduce more homeowners
than ever to the advantages
of LEKA roofs.

Independent Network has unveiled
an inspiring new website making it even
easier for homeowners to find information
and connect with their local member.
VEKA Group’s Head of Partner Programmes
Karen Lund explains: “We’re really excited to
launch the new website which I, personally,
believe will set a new standard for the indus-
try. A huge amount of hard work has gone
into it, and there are lots of innovative new
features and interactive areas which should
prompt an increase in traffic that will raise
the profile of IN and, in turn, our membership
across the country. The launch of the new site
is being supported by paid-for digital adver-
tising, and also coincides with Independent
Network’s collaboration with Sainsbury’s and
House Beautiful Magazines.
“The previous Independent Network site
was only three years old, but we had identi-
fied areas that could be improved and – like
our members - we are not satisfied with
anything less than perfect quality.”
