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…
Window, door and conservatory fabricator Conservatory Outlet achieved record-breaking sales in the first quarter of its 2011 financial year, in line with the continuous expansion of its network of installer-customers.
Order intake in June, July and August was up by an average of 25% on the same time last year, and September and October were both also record sales months in the company’s history.
These results follow two consecutive years of 20% growth for the West Yorkshire-based manufacturer and are the reward of a very busy twelve months. During this time sales director Greg Kane has joined the company, as have seven high-calibre installers who now retail Conservatory Outlet products, exclusively, in their regional areas.
The addition of these installers to the network has been complemented by the growth of long-standing Conservatory Outlet dealers such as West Yorkshire Windows and Clearview Home Improvements which…
West Yorkshire Windows and Clearview Home Improvements – both part of Conservatory Outlet’s network of dealers – have been shortlisted in separate categories at this year’s annual G11 awards.
The G Awards are the most prestigious double glazing and conservatories industry awards and to be shortlisted companies must demonstrate total pride and professionalism in every aspect of their business from sales and marketing to design and installation, right through to after-sales service.
West Yorkshire Windows are one of four shortlisted companies in the Installer of the Year category, and Clearview Home Improvements have been named as a finalist in the Conservatory Installer of the Year category. The former was a founder member of the Conservatory Outlet network of dealers and the latter has been a Conservatory Outlet dealer ever since its establishment in 2008.

Conservatory Outlet dealers experienced and unprecedented increase in the number of online enquiries for their products in January and February compared to the same time last year, despite reports that overall internet leads for conservatories were down by more than a quarter.
On average, members of the of the Conservatory Outlet network received 179% more internet leads than last year, with one regional installer recording a 344% improvement.
These results have been achieved during a time when internet searches for the phrases ‘conservatory’ and ‘conservatories’ have declined, as well as online enquiries for these products which are reported to have fallen by 27% in just 12 months.
Matthew Glover, Conservatory Outlet MD, attributes this success to a series of website re-designs that have taken place across the network in recent months, as well as the continual investment to maintain and improve search engine rankings.
‘Despite the slump in online traffic…
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…
Housemaster Home Improvements has joined the Conservatory Outlet Network, marking a significant expansion in the network’s reach.
Conservatory Outlet is widely regarded to be a Yorkshire and Northern-based outfit. However, a recent push by the company’s managing director, Matthew Glover, resulted in widespread interest from companies based in the south.
Clive Brimmell, owner of Hertfordshire’s based Housemaster Home Improvements decided to join the network after learning that Conservatory Outlet was generating leads for the southern half England that didn’t have local member companies available to service them.
After Housemaster Home Improvements was able to prove its credentials as a competent retail company – including owning a showroom – Conservatory Outlet built a modern website (www.housemasterhome.com) for the company, which immediately started to generate business and sales enquiries from website visitors throughout Hertfordshire & Bedfordshire searching for the latest conservatories, orangeries and energy saving double…
When you’re talking conservatories and double glazing windows & doors, it’s all about the fit. The same goes with online advertising agencies. So when it came to creating and marketing a new website Housemaster Home Improvements based in Hertfordshire – Motionlab were the natural choice. Motionlab may not know a lot about building a stunning conservatory or installing the very latest double glazing windows and doors, but they know how to build a successful lead generating website for a host of home improvement companies.
Housemaster Home Improvements who recently joined the Conservatory Outlet dealership needed a better way to generate online sales leads. They required a friendlier, more informative website that introduced their quality range of products and services throughout Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.

Claiming to be the North West’s most successful conservatory retailer, Conservatory Outlet dealer Clearview Home Improvements has added a third showroom as part of its strategy to boost sales this year by 25%.
Ideally located on a new Warrington retail park adjacent to other home improvement retailers and major retail brands from all sectors, the new Clearview showroom is the result of a £150,000 investment to create what is believed by Conservatory Outlet to be ‘the best retail conservatory showroom in the North of England and probably the UK’.
The showroom contains 8 fully featured conservatories in a range of styles, including a number of orangeries constructed using traditional brick and others using the latest modular components. A range of colours also illustrates the options open to customers, with bi-fold doors bound to provide an attraction to visitors. Every conservatory is fully furnished in a range…
We’ve recently held our dealer meeting at the Marriott hotel near Manchester Airport, and the feedback suggests it has been a real success.
Conservatory Outlet are keen to ensure that we encourage a team spirit amongst the dealers, and representatives of the various installation companies in the UK were present.
The day began with Andrew, Martin and Steven from Motionlab discussing the benefits of Conservatory Outlet and its dealers continuing to work hard developing our SEO and PPC campaigns. Not normally the most exciting subject, but the dealers were interested to learn how all the websites are developing with 50,000 visitors to our sites in January alone.
We then discussed standardising the marketing message further through the network particularly with special offers being run by the different dealers. Conservatory Outlet put so much effort into helping their dealers generate leads and sales from a variety of marketing strategies.
