INDUSTRYNEWS SKYFALL FOR CHARITY »»REHAU’s team of ‘Redkite’ charity fundraisers finally lived up to their name in August, when they successfully completed a series of tandem skydives – jumping at 15,000 feet from a plane flying over Honiton in Devon. The team of nine, which included four from REHAU’s window division, have already raised more than £5,000 for the Prostate Cancer charity and are appealing for last minute sponsorship via the website at: www.justgiving.com/rehau-Limited REHAU’s Marketing Communications Manager Irene Smith, who jumped alongside Communications Coordinator Faye Tompkins, Marketing and Technical Director Gareth Jones and Applications Engineer Edward Kodia, said: “We thought it would be a once in a lifetime experience but in fact we all enjoyed it so much, we’re already planning how we might do it all again next year raising funds for another charity like Prostate Cancer, which is close to everyone’s hearts.” Irene added: “We had so much amazing support from friends, colleagues and the industry, we’re really grateful for every penny we received in sponsorship and want to say a huge thank you to everyone who made the jump such a success.” www.rehau.co.uk Retaining a traditional look »»The classical character of a traditional Lancashire civic building has been restored with Heritage Vertical Sliders manufactured by Glazerite Windows Ltd. The windows, installed at Chorley Town Hall by Bolton-based CarMan Plastics, were designed to replicate the existing unrepairable timber sashes using traditional features such as deep bottom rails, continuous sash horns and white woodgrain. “The hardest part of the job was matching all the windows,” said CarMan Managing Director Manny Beattie, “they wanted to replicate the old windows as closely as they could, even some that were arched.” He added: “We’ve been buying from Glazerite for a couple of years now and they are brilliant; we’ve never had any problems at all.” ‘never had any problems’ Chorley Borough Council will not only be saving on heating bills with the ‘A’ Rated PVCu windows but there was an added cost saving as the building was already scaffolded for other maintenance work that was going on at the same time. www.glazeritewindows.co.uk Reassuring Customers »»Long-established home improvement company WindoWorld Leicester is celebrating 20 years as a member of the Consumer Protection Association.
