C O M from a bumper month for its bifold builder, thriving Liverpool-based fabricator, Warwick North West, has received a deluge of positive feedback from customers using the easy-to-use online application for the first time. Specifically designed to significantly speed up the quoting and purchasing process and maximise convenience for trade clients, the builder offers installers a quick and easy way to input their preferred specification, including size, colour and hardware, before sending it off to Warwick for pricing. Among the customers who’ve recently benefitted from the fabricator’s online bifold builder is Heritage Windows and Doors, Flintshire-based double-glazing experts, and suppliers and installers of replacement PVCu windows and timber-alternative doors, conservatories and roofline products. Peter Doran, Managing Director of Heritage, commented: “It says fantastic things about a fabricator when they invest the time and effort to provide something like Warwick’s bifold builder. For us, it has really streamlined our ordering process. Like all installers, we’re busy – our day-to-day working life isn’t strictly nine to five and when fabricators only let you quote by phone within conventional office hours, that’s a pain. Thanks to innovations like this, we can do it whenever we like, and that’s made our lives much easier.” www.warwicknorthwest.co.uk or call 0151 933 3030
