Installers Network at Annual Dealer Conference
Author: Ben | Leave a Comment >>Business leaders from twenty-two Conservatory Outlet Dealers traded ideas and opinions at the fabricator’s annual Dealer Conference which took place on Thursday 26th April.
Owners and directors of installation companies from Aberdeen to the Isle of Wight were united by Conservatory Outlet at the Waterton Park Hotel, Walton, almost a year to the day since the 2011 event which was attended by a then full complement of fourteen dealers.
The audience of over sixty people were repaid for their efforts to get to the venue for a 10am start with ten separate presentations designed to help Conservatory Outlet Dealers continue to defy market trends – a trend in itself which was alluded to in Sales Director Greg Kane’s ‘Review of the Market’ at the beginning of the day.
Equally topical presentations followed from guest speakers such as Brian Smith, Glass and Glazing Federation Home Improvement Manager,…

Record January Leads to Record March
Author: Ben | Leave a Comment >>Conservatory Outlet, the fabricator supplier to the Conservatory Outlet Network of Dealers, recorded its highest ever financial order intake in March following a record month for the number of online leads it generated in January.
The two statistics are thought to be no coincidence by Conservatory Outlet Sales Director Greg Kane; ‘Clearly, a large proportion of the record number of leads we generated in January have been successfully converted into retail sales by Conservatory Outlet dealers who have, in turn, ordered more windows, doors and conservatories from us – it’s a perfect example of the mutually beneficial relationship that we have with our dealers.’
The main websites belonging to Conservatory Outlet generated a total of 1200 leads during the first month of 2012, with individual dealer websites – over 20 individual sites, all provided free of charge by Conservatory Outlet – generating in…

Conservatory Outlet Shows Staff The Easyway
Author: Ben | Leave a Comment >>Conservatory Outlet helped its staff make one of the toughest New Year’s resolutions by funding an Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking day.
Factory staff and office staff from the Wakefield-based fabricator attended the one day seminar on the 5th January which was held at Wakefield Trinity Wildcats RLFC.
Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking is internationally renowned and endorsed by celebrities such as Richard Branson, and corporations such as Ford, Microsoft and Unilever. Conservatory Outlet decided to host their seminar after Sales Director Greg Kane successfully gave up smoking thanks to Easyway.
Thirty people from the company’s 75-strong workforce benefitted from the session which Greg Kane described as a way of rewarding staff in the short and long term. ‘A lot of people would like to stop smoking but doing so can be very difficult for a number of reasons, be it time, money or finding a method that…

West Yorkshire Windows named as G11 Installer of the Year
Author: Ben | Leave a Comment >>West Yorkshire Windows, one of the founding members of the Conservatory Outlet network of dealers, was awarded the much coveted title of ‘Installer of the Year’ at the G11 national industry awards, held at the Hilton Hotel, Park Lane, on Friday 25th November.
The Wakefield-based company was one of 11 prize winners on the night which was hosted by comedian Sean Lock. Merely being shortlisted in the list of four companies was an achievement in itself, but West Yorkshire Windows went all the way to secure the title which is no more than the company deserves after over 18 years continuous trading, during which it has completed thousands of high-quality window, door, conservatory and orangery installations.
West Yorkshire Windows faced stiff competition from the likes of Sherborne, Alumet and KJM Group. But after reading the Conservatory Outlet Dealer’s application, and visiting them for a…

West Yorkshire Windows Light Up Local Man’s Life
Author: Ben | Leave a Comment >>West Yorkshire Windows, Conservatory Outlet and Custom Glass collectively came to the rescue of a 91-year-old man who had been without windows in the front of his house for almost two years.
The man’s house in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, had been subject to continued vandalism by youths from the area. When the single glazed windows at the front of the house were smashed in 2010, the local victim support charity were only able to board the windows up, leaving the living room, main bedroom and bathroom with no natural light.
Following further vandalism at the property earlier this year, PC Chris Schofield of West Yorkshire Police decided to go beyond the call of duty by appealing to local businesses that could potentially help to repair the victim’s home and improve the quality of his life.
‘It seemed that the young people in the area thought it was ok to vandalise…
