‘Your lead time’
November 2017

Origin says its aluminium window can now be produced to order within 24 hours after including the product in its ‘Your Lead Time, Not Ours’ (YLTNO) promise, first introduced for its bi-fold doors two years ago.

MD Andy Halsall explained: “We first introduced our ‘Your Lead Time, Not Ours’ delivery promise on the Origin Bi-fold Door, which revolutionised the fenestration industry’s manufacturing and lead times standard. The logical next step was to bring the Origin Window in line with this, but manufacturing a window is more complicated than a bi-fold door. It can come in a variety of sizes and configurations of squares, so the manufacturing process is unique each time a window is made. So, as with everything we do at Origin, we wanted to ensure we were 100 per cent confident in our offering, before launching it to our partners. We are now at that stage, and we are excited to see the positive impact it will have on our partners, and to see how much disruption it will cause in an already innovative marketplace.”

Origin says it has invested over £350,000 in introducing the window to its YLTNO promise, including leasing additional space to house the increased levels of stock being kept on site. This means that Origin has a contingency plan in place, and is not reliant on any third parties to ensure that the 100 per cent record Origin currently boasts stays intact. 

Halsall concluded: With no one else being able to offer this kind of service, we are unrivalled and unmatched in terms of quality product, standard of service and lead-time. We look forward to seeing the impact this move has on Origin as a brand, and also the wider manufacturing industry.”
