What are you working on at the
moment that you’d like to share
with the Clearview readers?
It has been interesting to diversify
recently into 3D printing surgical mask
straps and visors, to feel like we are
helping those on the front-line just a little
bit has been very rewarding.
We are of course also working on getting
our business re-opened safely, ensuring
our employees returning feel physically
and mentally safe. Alongside these
unusual times, we have really championed
the use of digital and social media, giving
our customer tips on how to ensure their
business stays active and generating
interest for when they return.
Is there anything else
you’d like to add?
Companies need diversity of all kinds
to stay relevant and to represent ‘real life’.
To create the best opportunities in any
business, you need a range of experiences,
visions and views. Jo Wallace, Creative
Director of J. Walter Thompson in London,
points out that even after a concerted
effort in recent years, women still only
represent 13% of creative directors, and
yet a massive 85% of consumer-based
decisions are from a female perspective.
The disparity between these figures is
not just bad for diversity, it’s bad for
business….and the fenestration industry is
no exception.
