BOOSTING HOPE66
CHARITY TALLY
NEARER HOME
As 22 members of the Hope66 charity cycling
team set off to ride the length of the iconic
Route 66 in the United States, VS manufacturer
Quickslide decided to have some fun while
raising cash towards the epic ride.
Bolstering the latest bid
to raise money for the
Hope House Children’s
Hospices that have
become the unofficial
‘official’ charity of many
in the glass & glazing industry, Quickslide donated £2 for every window
and door sold whilst the
riders were en route.
The staff, customers,
suppliers and anyone the
Brighouse based company
could muster also chipped in,
raising a massive £6,248 to-
‘raising a massive
£6,248 towards
an anticipated
total of more
than £150,000’
wards an anticipated total of
more than £150,000 expected
to be raised as a result of 16
cyclists, mostly well-known
names from the UK glass &
glazing industry, riding more
than 2,600 miles along Route
66 in just 14 days. Adrian
flew to Santa Monica, California to cheer the riders in
at the end of the challenge,
where he announced the total of the Quickslide effort.
“It was such a massive
project that we felt we had to
do something to contribute,”
explained Adrian.

David Stewart, Managing
Director, explained, “We’re
obviously really pleased
with these figures. We’ve
seen a mixture of higher
value sales and a higher
volume of orders and have
proved that selling and
fitting quality products like
Freefoam with long lasting
guarantees, offering expert
advice and giving first class
customer service meets the
demands of todays market and results in success.
Whilst we use the traditional marketing methods
favoured by many home
improvement companies
– newspaper advertising,
exhibition, telesales and
garden signs - it’s the
recommendations we get
from satisfied customers
that really help to fill our
order book and have certainly played a big part in
us achieving this impressive
growth.”
Colin St John, UK General Manager commented,
“In these tough economic
times consumers have less
disposable income and need
to know that any investment
in home improvements is
going to last and give value
for money. These figures by
one of our busiest registered installers show how
Freefoam’s quality and
long lasting roofline range
brings tangible benefits for
installers.”
