2014PREDICTIONS ON THE ROAD TO GROWTH WITH BIGGER, BETTER FLEET Glazerite is keeping ahead of ever-growing demand with a bigger fleet and more efficient trucks for 2014. The first of the new vehicles, a Fuso Canter 7.5 tonne impressed the fabricator so much with its light weight body and increased load capacity that it immediately ordered a second – and it may not be long before it plans on adding more. Record sales throughout 2013 – combined with increased orders for bigger, heavier products – meant the existing fleet would soon have been at capacity, said director Jason Thompson, and therefore the additional vehicles were essential to uphold the company’s reputation for service and quick turnaround. “When we deliver to every part of mainland Britain at least once a week, our customers quite rightly expect us to be able to meet deadlines. Also, much of our growth in demand has been in heavier products such as VS, bi-folds, composite and patio doors. The Canters have 30% more payload than some of our existing fleet so will cope with that easily. “We now produce over 2,400 frames a week and the extended fleet will provide us with a delivery capacity in excess of 3,000 frames per week.” www.glazeritewindows.co.uk “Phenomenal” year of trading As they fast approach their first decade in business, Sunsquare Ltd are celebrating a “phenomenal” year of trading in 2013.

Sunsquare also recently moved factories into a new state-of-the-art facility in a bid to cope with increasing demand. “We have experienced significant growth every single year since our launch in 2004 but this year has been particularly phenomenal,” said Justin Seldis, Managing Director.
