‘Best conference yet’
July 2018

More than 100 guests joined EVERGLADE WINDOWS for its 12th trade customer conference earlier this month.

Delegates heard from four guest speakers including Sales & Marketing Director Jay Patel, who later said: “This year was our best conference yet. We’ve had some great feedback from customers, who found the presentation content useful and interesting and loved having a first-look at our new products.”

Guest speakers gave attendees practical business advice and insight into the wider economy, the technology landscape and the construction industry. The attendees also got a first-look at the new aïr 80HI flush aluminium window.

Reena Popat and Jayesh Jotangia from Carter Bond solicitors spoke about the Consumer Rights Act, giving practical advice on how it could affect installers and how they can protect themselves. Certass Chair Jon Vanstone provided insight on Brexit, the wider construction economy and what’s happening in Government policy that will affect installation companies. Candice Arnold from tech firm Quantiq gave guests the low-down on the rise of the robots and how emerging software and technology can change how homeowners buy and engage with businesses.

Jay concluded: “We always want to make our conference content valuable for customers, with lots of information and advice. It’s also a great opportunity for us to recommend best practice, hints and tips to help customers make the most of the market.

“At this year’s conference, we launched the aïr 80HI high insulation flush aluminium window and new products with great cross selling opportunities including our new range of privacy screens for wide span doors, Regal hardware for windows and Serenity handles for aïr doors. We also added three new pieces of literature to the marketing support package for customers – the aïr 20SL brochure, aïr MOD-Series brochure and Everglade product selector tool.”
