AVOCET CELEBRATES
NATIONAL
FENESTRATION
AWARDS WIN
Directors and staff at Avocet
Hardware are celebrating
the company’s remarkable
turnaround - having gone
from being a business on the
brink to being named winner
of the Hardware Company
2013 category in the very first
National Fenestration Awards
(NFAs) in less than two years.
The Brighouse company was
bought out of administration by
the Jain family in February 2012
and since then the focus has very
firmly been on restoring Avocet’s
standing as one of the leading
names in the hardware industry.
And achieving this so quickly
is a source of great pride for
director, Dr Tinkle Jain: “We
have a track record of buying and
turning round troubled or ailing
companies, but do tend to look at
a two to three year timeframe for
achieving this,” she said.
“To be in a position where
we are being named the best
Hardware Company in the
industry in less than two years
of ownership is a staggering
achievement.”
During the rebuilding process,
the Jain family has invested
£10.6million across the entire
business, most recently investing
heavily in increasing stock levels
to the highest level the company
has ever add. A situation that
‘an exciting time’
means Avocet can now offer
24-hour delivery across its entire
product range.
In addition, the company has
made a series of important new
appointments during recent
months, and is in the process of
further strengthening its team.
“This is an exciting time
for Avocet and the National
Fenestration Award clearly
shows that our confidence in the
future of the business is shared
Added style
by the whole of the fenestration
industry,” added Dr Jain.
The NFAs were created in order
to give the industry an unbiased
and fair platform to decide who
they think truly deserves industry
recognition and praise – for
