Following the announcement that BBC star Laura Jane Clark is the new Brand Ambassador for its hup ! building system , Ultraframe has announced that the ensuing consumer PR campaign has resulted in an unprecedented number of homeowner leads that are now being distributed to hup ! installers across the UK .

Ultraframe Marketing Director , Alex Hewitt , said : “ Across 2024 we are aiming to put hup ! at the forefront of homeowner ’ s minds when they are looking to extend their home or transform an old conservatory . We ’ re doing this by raising awareness of hup ! as well as building trust and credibility in the system , sharing expertise , and ultimately - generating enquiries .”

Consumer press launch events in London and Manchester provided the opportunity for journalists to meet with Laura Jane Clark and the hup ! team , learn about the system , and meet ‘ real life case studies ’ – homeowners who have already had a hup ! built . The enthusiasm shown for the system at the events and the coverage that has followed has been phenomenal , with pieces in the Sunday Times , Ideal Home , and more . Leads for hup ! partners have gone through the roof as a result , in fact , many have commented that due to the speed and ease of a hup ! build coupled with the high number of leads coming through , they are now working to restructure their businesses to focus on hup ! builds .

Continuing , Alex said : “ To help our installers manage this increase in demand effectively , we are launching The hup Partner Network which is a network of ambitious companies who effectively sell , specify and build hup ! extensions . We ’ re now actively recruiting new hup ! Network Partners , building a community of highly effective hup ! salespeople and providing hardworking tools to help them with doing this .

“ To help our hup ! Network Partners manage the huge number of quality leads that we are receiving we have developed and launched a new leads management system . Features include individual sales person lead dashboards where leads can be managed , text and email lead notifications sent direct to sales people , a comprehensive hup ! training platform , and more .

“ It is a wonderful feeling to see the system we believe in so passionately growing

so quickly - hup ! is even becoming a relevant search term on google ! It proves that even in a difficult market there is a strong demand for a system that addresses the many issues associated with a traditional build . If you ’ d like to be a part of the building revolution , please do get in touch and soon you could be building the better way with hup !.”

Love Windows Devon has transformed its business operations with innovative quoting software developed by Tommy Trinder . Under the leadership of Mark Frost , Managing Director , the company has leveraged the technology to redefine flexible working .

Tommy Trinder has been a “ massive game changer ” for the team , enabling Mark to realise his vision of building a business that does things differently . “ When I started the business , I wanted it to be flexible , so that we could work from anywhere . With Tommy Trinder I can work from home , work from my bag , work from wherever ,” Mark said .

Mark has fully integrated the quoting software into

his workflow , enabling the team to design , price and quote in real-time in the customers ’ home , eliminating the need for a traditional showroom or a large premises . “ My office is in my backpack ,” says Mark . “ When I ’ m chatting with a customer I can bring my iPad out , show them the software , we design the windows together

– they ’ re really impressed with it .”

Designing and pricing in the customer ’ s home provides a great sales experience for both Mark and the homeowner . “ When I ’ m sitting with the customer having a coffee , I can price it there and then . It takes two minutes to do a quote , so they know you ’ re on it . There ’ s no going back to the office to change stuff and check it . You can just do it straight away , which is great for business ,” Mark said .

The ability to superimpose windows and doors onto a photograph of the customer ’ s house has been a big hit with clients , and has helped Love Windows Devon to minimise error . “ It eliminates any mistakes

because you ’ re seeing the windows how they will look , fitted , with all the details . You ’ re showing exactly what you ’ re selling ,” Mark added .

Love Windows Devon have developed a solid reputation for the quality of their installations . Tommy Trinder has enabled Mark and the team to extend that reputation across the entire sales process , meeting the evolving needs of both the business and the homeowner . “ Tommy is very flexible , easy to use , good value for money , and produces very professional-looking quotes for our customers . I definitely wouldn ’ t be without it ,” Mark concluded .
