MORE INSTALLERS
NEEDED FOR 20%
TURNOVER INCREASE
The business behind the UK’s largest network of solid roof system installers has celebrated its 10th year of trading.
In just 10 years, Staffordshire-based Guardian Roof,
and its network of fabricators, plus Team Guardian installers has sold over 15,000
roofs throughout the UK.
Early indications suggest that the
milestone year will make financial history too, with the annual
turnover on course to increase by
around 20%.
Joe Kearney, Guardian Roof,
said:
“When we launched Guardian
back in 2005 we became the UK’s
first roof manufacturing company to make a simple promise:
that we’d never fabricate a roof
ourselves. And we’ve been true to
our word.
“We have built partnerships with
some of the UK’s finest fabricators.
And their support, belief in the
unique business model and hard
work is now paying off in massive
success for the brand.
“We are hugely grateful to each
and every one of our skilled fabricators and our incredible
network of
skilled Team Guardian Installers.
We thank them for their efforts,
belief and trust in the UK’s market-leading solid lightweight warm
roof solution.”
“This is only just the beginning.
Our recruitment of installers continues. And we are also developing
new and more exciting products
for our fabricators to exclusively
supply.”
In September last year Guardian
Roof launched a new membership
drive targeting a total of 400 accredited installers by 2016.
Earlier this year Guardian
introduced new sales
software for members of its Team
Guardian Registered Installer
Scheme. The
new software
has improved Team
Guardian installers’
efficiency and conversion
rates; plus help increase
capacity for Team Guardian
fabricators.
Developed exclusively for
Guardian Roof by RoofWright, the
software can produce an infinite
number of designs using over 200
unique templates and five Metro
tile designs.
The software offers massive time
savings; allows for instant precise pricing of jobs; and, features
structural checks to guarantee the
integrity of each job. Further process time savings are predicted to
transform fabrication capacity.
In less than five years, The Team
Guardian Registered Installer
Scheme has already established a
network of fabricators and installers throughout the UK.
But demand for the first solid
roof system with LABC and LABSS
approval has seen enquiries increase over the last 12 months by
over 200%.
Joe continued:
“As well as our position as the
UK market leader, I think there
are a couple of reasons for the
volume of enquiries we are receiving: A Guardian Roof has a 0.18 U
value which resolves issues with
conservatories being too hot in
the summer and too cold in the
winter. The most important part
of replacing a conservatory is to
completely remove the old roof
and replace it with a structurally
designed alternative that is tested
to the highest standards by LABC
and LABSS in Scotland and England.
“Recently, many more customers
are choosing to redevelop existing
property to save money on a move
up the housing ladder. They see
our solid replacement roof as a
cost-effective and natural choice
to develop a current property with
an otherwise perfectly useable
conservatory.
“We need more top quality
installers to meet this demand. We
have established an enviable reputation as the market leader in newbuild or replacement solid roofs
for conservatories. Now we need
even more proven skilled installers
who can maintain our reputation
for many years to come.”
A Guardian Warm Roof is best
installed by a registered Team
Guardian installer. The scheme is
designed to allow homeowners
verify Team Guardian Registered
Installers, and prevent competitors falsely claiming to supply the
patented roof system.
In addition to the right to install
Guardian Roofs, Team Guardian
Registered Installers enjoy additional exclusive benefits including
full training; sales models; official
Team Guardian ID’s and lanyards;
promotion on the Guardian Warm
Roof website; and crucially, leads
from a local fabricator.
Joe adds:
“We want to speak to more reputable and ambitious businesses
that have what it takes to excel as
a Team Guardian member. We’re
fortunate that many of the best
installers in the country are already enjoying the business-building benefits of Team Guardian
membership and we can’t wait to
welcome more.”
