ROGER HARTSHORN, CEO, GARNALEX

“Amidst the fog of PR hype and competing opinions, it’s not been easy to see where the market is going. So, the publication of this report is to be welcomed. It establishes the facts and trends very clearly. The trend is strongly towards aluminium, accelerated by new competition which has forced more product development in the last two years than in the previous 20.”

ROB MCGLENNON, MD, DECEUNINCK UK

“The report is a definitive look at long-term trends and the here and now. It’s likely to become an invaluable reference for businesses that want to understand the market and where it’s likely to go next.”

NICK DUTTON, CEO, BRISANT SECURE

“That is a really interesting report. Masses of really interesting information.”

ROY FROST, GROUP MD, GJB GROUP.

“You certainly know how to get a debate going in the industry 🙂 Our Sheerline aluminium window and door sales are very strong, in fact in a PVC market that’s down 15-20% year on year Aluminium is up for us by 25% so bucking the current market trends.”

BARRY SHEVLIN, MD, GLOBAL HOME IMPROVEMENTS.

“Very interesting Mike, and well put together. No blocks of text, as no one reads anything anymore, so good and clear.”

JASON GRAFTON-HOLT, FOUNDER, THE DOUBLE GLAZING BLOGGER

“The UK fenestration sector, unlike the European and US markets, has, until now, been lacking genuinely useful and actionable research and data. This is important for business owners to make informed decisions and to act on them, rather than go simply on gut instinct. This report is going to allow many to action and execute on decision which may very well be key in the coming 12 months.”

LUCIA DI STAZIO, GROUP MARKETING STRATEGY & COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR, ENCON GROUP.

“An insightful report on the window and door market and how the sector has evolved over the years in areas of innovation, material, colour, attitudes and much more.  If you need answers to the big questions about the industry, products, companies, long term trends, regional differences, and prices then this is the ‘go-to’ report. Compact, authoritative, and interesting.”

ANDY BALL, CEO, BALLS2MARKETING.

“This 26 page WindowBASE-Tommy Trinder Windows & Door report is authoritative and packed with accessible facts and useful insights. And it’s easy on the eye. Keep it handy for your marketing and business planning!”

CHRIS TAHMASABY, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, ICAAL.
