REAPING THE REWARDS
Profile 22 fabricator Burbage Custom
Windows has doubled production in
the last 12 months thanks to the success
of its new online ordering system and a
£200,000 investment in new machinery.
»»DIRECTOR JAMES MEAH,
explains: “It was a chicken and
egg situation. We know that we
could generate the work, but
we needed the machinery and
logistics in place in order to
service the new orders.
“The new website went live
about a year ago, and the orders
it generates account for about
half of the company’s work.”
James has also found that
an increased web presence has
opened up opportunities in
many different areas.
“We’ve had a mixture of
customers who have found us
through the online ordering
service,” he said. “We are selling
to all parts of the trade, including
builders, window installers, and
DIYers.”
To meet the increased
demand, the Hinckley-based
company recently invested
£200,000 in new machinery
including a Murat cutting and
prepping centre. Part of that
investment was made up of a
local business grant.
“The agreement included a
promise to create six new jobs, in
order to justify the grant,” James
said. “However, we have taken
on 12 new people – including
four apprentices.”
The company has also invested
in two new delivery trucks to
help deliver the 300 windows a
week it now manufactures.
Burbage Custom Windows has
been a Profile 22 fabricator for
10 years, choosing the systems
company when its original
supplier left the UK market, and
was impressed by the level of
marketing support it offered.
