Matthew Glover, Managing Director of Conservatory Outlet has announced plans to stage a brand new national window, door and conservatory trade show aimed at fabricators and installers involved in the glass and double glazing industry.
Due to be held between 16-18th April 2013, the Telford International Centre will be transformed into the home of double glazing, doors and conservatories for the FIT (Fabricator and Installer Trade) Show, the first event of its kind for five years.
In accordance with its slogan of ‘everyone’s going’, the FIT Show has already attracted the attention of 30 companies including EdgeTech, Lister Trade Frames and Synseal, with half a million pounds-worth of exhibition space booked before the official launch.
Extensive research was carried out prior to the introduction of the event to ensure that the needs of both exhibitors and visitors were catered for. Located in the very heart of England, entrance to the FIT Show will be free and a range of affordable exhibition stand packages are available.
The inaugural FIT Show will also encompass a comprehensive seminar programme, innovative features, planned evening entertainment and networking opportunities as the organisers look to set up an event relevant to the industry in the 21st century.
Armed with a £500k marketing budget, the FIT Show will be heavily promoted in trade-related publications and across social media platforms over the next 14 months in the lead-up to the event so that the exhibition gets optimum exposure and reaches as many key industry figures as possible.
Mr Glover has created and organised the event together with colleague and business partner Paul Godwin who runs a business-to-business public relations agency based in Hertfordshire. They each share a long-held passion for the conservatory industry.

Conservatory Outlet the fabricator and installer of home improvements have announced that triple glazing now accounts for 15% of the 10,000 frames they produce each month due to popular demand from its network of dealers and householders.
The addition of triple glazing to their already vast product range in July of last year has been fantastically received by dealers and homeowners up and down the land. It has also led to the company launching a site solely dedicated to this newest form of home improvement christened ‘Triple Glazing Superheroes’.
Conservatory Outlet is made up of 19 regional dealers throughout the UK all of which already supply, fit and install conservatories, orangeries, double glazing, porches and roofline, amongst many other products.
Greg Kane, Sales Director of Conservatory Outlet says:
“This positive feedback has come from all corners of the UK and judging by the requests for product samples and literature alone, our dealers really do believe in the potential of triple glazing. I fully expect that this percentage will increase over time.”
Although the sale of triple glazing within the network is in its infancy, Mr Kane is confident that it will become the window of choice over the coming years:
“Despite our early efforts in the triple glazing market, double glazed energy rated windows and frames for conservatories obviously still make up the bulk of our work as a fabricator, and this is likely to be the case for some time.
But as Building Regulations set higher standards, more UK installers begin to offer a triple glazed option, and more and more homeowners have a neighbour or friend who has had triple glazing installed, demand for these products will increase and that is when our work now will really be rewarded.”

Home extensions whether they be a brand new conservatory, loft or garage conversion, are out of the reach of many people financially which can make things difficult if space in your property is hard to find. However there is nothing to stop you buying more affordable home improvement solutions to help create the illusion of space.
Patio doors and French doors can totally transform your home and because of the transparency of the glass used it will make your garden more visible and as a result your property will feel that bit larger. They will help increase the amount of natural light that hits your living space so that it feels brighter and that bit more inviting.
Most patio and French doors frames are created from using UPVC. The reason being is that UPVC is weather-resistant and isn’t prone to any of the weaknesses that you most commonly find in timber, namely rotting, warping and many other forms of unwanted wear and tear.
Those lucky enough to already own conservatories can also utilise the beautiful aesthetics, styling, functionality and practicality present in a French or patio door. They can be fitted inside all types of conservatories so that you can pull or slide them open and make your way into the back garden with sophisticated ease.
Both types of door are designed with security in mind as they contain a durable locking system which when securely fastened will help keep your home out of the grasp of intruders. The views to be gained are also something to behold as they give you a wonderful vantage point of the outdoors.
With several different finishes available finding a colour that fits in with the rest of your home will be a breeze. They are the perfect home improvement for those on a tight budget!

Salesman at two of Conservatory Outlet’s regional dealerships are celebrating after beating off competition from other salesman within the network to land the individual titles of 2011 Conservatory Outlet Top Dog.
Jim Oliver of Lincolnshire-based James Oliver Conservatories collected his trophy and cash prize for delivering the greatest number of combined sales of conservatories, double glazing, doors and other products within the entire network. Nick Trigg of Mid Wales Windows & Conservatories took the honours in the category solely dedicated to replacement windows and double glazing.
The concept of Top Dog was created as Conservatory Outlet wanted to give their teams of sales men and women more of a major motivation to increase the number of sales they bring in.
As well as this year-long competition, Conservatory Outlet also hands out monthly awards to sales people for attracting the ‘Largest Window Order’ and ‘Largest Conservatory Order’.
A total of 8 out of Conservatory Outlet’s 19 dealers took part in the annual competition with the final top ten comprising representatives from 5 different companies – a testament to the strength of the network. The total sales of everyone who took park in the competition this year approached a whopping £30m and most impressively 13 salesmen individually managed to pass the £1m mark.
Conservatory Outlet is hopeful that the 2012 competition will attract a few new entrants to increase competition and keep everyone on their toes.

Bosses at double glazing company Conservatory Outlet who organised a dedicated ‘Stop Smoking Day’ for their employees have reported that several members of staff have already managed to kick their regular nicotine fix.
Held last Thursday at the Rapid Solicitors Stadium, the home of Rugby League giants Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, the all-day event was hosted by Easyway who introduce smokers to tried and tested methods of kicking their smoking habit.
Around 25 members of staff attended, each determined to make 2012 a smoke-free year in their lives. With just the aid of a whiteboard, employees of the double glazing firm took on board everything passed onto them by their Easyway representative with great results.
Following the event, several members of the conservatories team managed to go out last weekend drinking with friends and family without needing a cigarette. ‘Fag’ breaks taken by staff during work hours has also ceased thanks to the initiative.
Conservatory Outlet is delighted with how well the event has been received by staff as they have received an enormous amount of positive feedback from personnel. It has also encouraged them to fund further staff-related initiatives in the future as they believe events such as this help make workers feel more valued and appreciated.

The Wakefield offices of Conservatory Outlet, the country’s no.1 home improvement company, are currently being updated and refurbished to help facilitate future growth over the coming years.
As the leading trade fabricator of double glazing, triple glazing windows, doors and conservatories, Conservatory Outlet realised the importance of ensuring that their head office was representative of their impressive product range and brand.

The office revamp has been completed by local long-standing Conservatory Outlet network member West Yorkshire Windows.
Like the thousands of installations they and Conservatory Outlet have carried out over the years, West Yorkshire Windows have made sure that energy efficiency is of the upmost priority.
