Slide And Swing To Success
D and I Window Solutions Ltd has shot to success in just three short but very hardworking
years. The company manufacturers and supplies lead-free windows, doors and conservatories
to the trade and also to the end user, carrying out some local installation work as well.
In addition to the full
range of competitively priced composite
doors from Solidor,
D and I has recently
added the innovative
slide and swing door
from New Wave to its
product portfolio as a
substitute for the uPVC
bi-folding door that
has a tendency to be
troublesome for both
fabricator, installer and
end user.
Where the bi-fold can be
troublesome after installation,
with the New Wave door
the sashes are individual
so are less likely to require
maintenance. Its design is
new and unique and is so
far taking the industry by
storm. “Initially we received
and email about the product,”
explains D and I joint Managing Director, Dave Saxon.
“We made enquiries and the
New Wave mobile showroom
came out to our premises to
do a demonstration of the
door, which we were very
impressed with.
“The response to the slide
and swing door from New
Wave has been great. The
idea is that, with this new
addition to our offering and
the new showroom that is
due to open imminently, it
will allow us to continue
Supporting Customers With
Changes To Ce Marking
With the introduction of the Construction Products
Regulation it has become mandatory to CE
mark certain products in relevant applications;
ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions offers a range
of products that meet the new requirements,
and the knowledge to support its customers.
Having met the relevant characteristics under the new CE marking
system, verified in the newly collated
Declaration of Performance (DoP)
documentation, customers of ASSA
ABLOY Security Solutions can be
confident that the high performance
door solutions are able to meet with
current market directives.
As well as offering those products requiring the CE mark under the changes to the
European Directive, ASSA ABLOY Security
Solutions has also worked hard to highlight
those products to which the changes do not
apply, countering pervasive confusion in the
market.
Andy Stolworthy, Product Manager for
ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions, explains
more: “ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions
places a lot of value on in-depth industry
knowledge; it’s crucial for our customers to
understand why certain products can’t be
CE marked or, in fact, are not required to
be CE marked at all, and which applications
these exceptions relate to.”

growing our business yearon-year, as has been the
case so far.”
D and I already has a
factory showroom at its
premises in Barnsley, South
Yorkshire, from where the
company supplies a national
trade customer base. The
new retail showroom that is
about to open at Brampton,
Rotherham will be predominantly for homeowners and
end users but D and I is
also encouraging its trade
customers to send their cus-
tomers too so that they can
see the products first hand,
which may very well help
them to close a sale.
Joint Managing Director,
Ian Haddock, puts the
company’s success down to
the quality of product and
service that it provides, “Undoubtedly so,” says Ian. “For
our trade customers, we
will fit cills and handles and
set bays, even delivering
them to site, free of charge.
This saves the installer a lot
of time and hassle onsite,
something that they really
appreciate.”

Another Successful Year
Business Micros has
recorded another
impressive year of
trading, with a further
increase in its customer base and a marked
increase in the number
of customers choosing
to rent rather than buy
its software.
Graeme Bailey, Managing
Director of Business Micros,
says that the Company’s
performance reflects the
mood of the industry as a
whole with fabricators reviewing their suppliers and
ensuring that they have the
right partners in place to
help take them forward into
the recovery.
He says: “We are seeing
an increasing number of
