15,000 REASONS TO
SMILE AT KING CROSS
Calderdale’s newest Junior Football
Club, King Cross Juniors, have agreed
a long term Partnership with Halifax
company Polyframe that will see
the clubs’ home ground renamed
“The Polyframe Academy”.
“Polyframe, have already shown
huge commitment to our younger
children’s development with their
sponsorship of our U6 section
(The Polyframe Pirates)” said
Club Chairman Mark Whelan
“However, we are absolutely
delighted to agree this £15,000
deal which will help move the
club to the next level.”
Simon Loker Marketing
Manager at Polyframe is delighted
to see the deal put in place
“Polyframe have a long track
record of backing local initiatives
and have sponsored many sports
clubs in the past, including
Halifax Town Football Club.
After our initial discussions with
King Cross Juniors, it was obvious
that they had a great vision for
junior football in Halifax. We
were looking to invest in a local
project that was more than a
“name on a shirt” and we believe
this tie up with a local club will
truly aid the development of
young children locally.”
Distinction’s
Door Designer
lets homeowners
design their own
front door
Marketing materials for
composite doors have
always focused on three
things: security, energy
efficiency and aesthetics.
And while the security
and thermal efficiency are
vital benefits, it’s often
the aesthetics that capture
homeowners’ imaginations.
Distinction Doors has
capitalised on this by
developing Door Designer, a
web application that allows
homeowners to design their
own front door.
Distinction has made
considerable investment in the
application, which is available
at www.distinctiondoors.co.uk
and is designed to be simple,
intuitive and fun to use. It is
also very discreetly branded,
so installers can use the tool
in their sales appointments.
The application takes the user
through choosing the door
style, door colour, cassette
colour, handle position and
opening direction, as well as
helping them select hardware.
Homeowners can even visualise
exactly how the door will look
by superimposing it on a photo
of their home. Finally, details
of the door can be printed
to form the basis of a quote
during a sales appointment or
for the homeowner to take to
their nearest Distinction Doors
approved installer if they have
yet to approach one.
