Yorkshire based Conservatory, Window & Door Outlet recently extended its showroom to display six conservatories. This, they say, is in direct response to the increase in interest shown by homeowners in extending and improving their homes rather than moving properties.
Conservatory, Window & Door Outlet also said that homeowners are turning to the internet for inspiration and suitable companies. They have found that the opportunities here more than compensate for the reported national dip in conservatory sales.
The company, which has been a Conservatory Outlet dealer for four years, works in the West Yorkshire area – primarily Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Batley, Bradford, Halifax and Leeds. The owners – Phil Naylor and Andy Ibberson – have seen their sales grow by 62% between 2008 and 2009, and they are chasing a further 20% increase for 2010.
“Despite what the doomsayers say, business is definitely picking up,” Andy Ibberson, Conservatory, Window & Door…
With conservatory sales running at perhaps half of some predictions made just three to four years ago, are Conservatory Outlet’s claims of substantial sales and enquiry increases to be taken with a pinch of salt? Conservatory Magazine writer Michael Oxted investigates.
“March has been a record month for conservatories and double glazing, the best we have ever had.”
How many companies in the conservatories and double glazing market can say that, truthfully? So when Matthew Glover, managing director of Conservatory Outlet made the claim, was I hearing yet another double glazing salesman’s extravagant verbiage?
Matthew Glover does not fit the image of the archetypal double glazing salesman. In fact he strikes one as being unassuming, thoughtful and even cerebral, the instinct to trust this man coming out strongly. So what does he have to back up his claims, which in…
The biggest double glazing & conservatory networking event of the year is almost upon us and if you still plan on attending the third annual GlassTalk event but have yet to purchase your tickets, then we suggest you do so without fail.
Due to the unparalleled success of our previous two GlassTalk events and the huge numbers of people who attended, we have had to go a little more upmarket with this year’s event taking place at the luxurious and previous stately home, Walton Hall Hotel, Warwickshire on Thursday 27th May.
GlassTalk was put together with the aim of providing a forum were people within the industry can get together, build relationships, make contacts, discuss relevant issues and even conduct business. It gives those conservatory, double glazing and uPVC window suppliers the opportunity to network with others…
Clearview Home Improvements was formed just two years ago by John Beaty with long standing associates Chris Mitchell, sales director, and Andy Ross who has a lifetime of installations behind him. Within that time Clearview claims that it has become the largest retailer of conservatories in the North West of England. Without verification we await the counter claims of others in the region, but to even be a contender within that period makes the claim impressive.
Clearview installs, on average, 60 conservatories a month with a sales value of £7.5 million last year through its established branches in Leyland, Lancashire and Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. The Warrington branch opened earlier this year is confidently expected to boost the company’s sales by a further £2.5 million in its first 12 months.
Such growth would be impressive under any conditions but with conservatory sales falling off a…
