Conservatory roofs, the next step! »»First quarter sales for 2015 are ‘going through the roof ’ reports Aztec Conservatory Roof Systems. And the customer base is expanding apace, with several new fabricators now fully functioning around the country, including Dover, Wolverhampton and Mansfield. “It seems that over the traditionally quieter early winter, a lot of window fabricators have ‘got’ our message: if you are making windows, there is little to stop you adding a profit opportunity by making conservatory roofs,” observes Tim Frank, Aztec managing director. “You’ll have a unit, and the equipment, and probably the space. The advantage of choosing the Aztec system over others is that we protect our customers, we don’t work against them: we refuse to take any jobs direct, and guarantee a protected, realistic area in which our partners can trade without competing against other people fabricating the same system.” Uniquely, the company requires no stockholding, no minimum order quantity, and promises fabricators protected sales areas, with next working day delivery on even a single bar length. Aztec provides a full technical service, and what it believes is the best customer support in the sector. Technical Director Gareth Jones and regional sales manager Glyn Rogers all attended the race day on behalf of REHAU. Martin Hitchin said: “Iceni is a real success story - a dynamic, exciting business which is building every year on a proven reputation for reliable quality and exceptional customer service.
