APEER’S GRAND DESIGNS
ON UK CONSUMERS
Apeer Doors has hailed its first ever
mainland consumer show an outstanding
success.
The company’s nine day appearance at
Grand Designs Live (ExCeL, London, May
3 – 11) provided the perfect platform to raise
brand awareness with consumers, as well as
strengthen relationships with key London and
Thames Valley customers.
Said UK sales manager Pete Shears, who
led the Apeer team at the high profile show:
“Although we have exhibited at a number of
events throughout Ireland, this was our first
consumer show in England and provided us
with a fantastic opportunity to communicate
directly with the end user and spend time with
several of our customers.”
The company showcased designs from its
contemporary MODO collection along with
two more traditional doors and its popular
stable door. The stand also featured a ‘wall of
colour’ showing Apeer’s range of 24 readily
available fashionable colours.
Apeer is also taking part in Grand Designs
Live, Birmingham (NEC, October 9 – 12) and
has rebooked the London event for 2015.

FOUR INTO ONE FOR UK WINDOW SYSTEMS
REHAU fabricator UK Window Systems is
set to establish a One Stop Shop in Stoke to
meet all of its trade customers’ window and
door buying requirements, by investing in a
new 30,000 sq ft factory in the town - with
capacity for producing up to 800 frames per
week, as well as providing a trade counter and
remodelled showroom.
‘800 frames per week’
The company has expanded so rapidly in recent
years that it currently occupies four separate units
in Stoke. With the purchase of the new factory
in a prominent location, however, it will be able
to consolidate all of these into one dedicated
space, improving overall efficiency and making it
easier for trade customers to get everything they
need in just one visit.
Director Richard Barlow says: “Our Plastic
Depot trade counter will now be housed at
our factory alongside a new showroom. Trade
customers can bring their retail clients to show
them where their windows and doors are being
produced.”
The move is planned to take place after the FIT
show where the company will be exhibiting on
Stand 382.

UK market and our Technical
Team is extremely proud of it.
The system has been designed
‘from the ground up’ so there are
no compromises. When it comes
to components, everything has
been newly designed specifically
for this product.

configurations - with customdesigned hardware from ERA
