7 PRO INSTALLER DECEMBER 2014 PRO NEWS @proinstaller1 Highland’s Finest Aberdeen-based, Thistle Windows and Conservatories is yet again asserting its position among the very best in the conservatory industry, with its list of national trophies and nominations it is racking up this year. Thistle established its place, being nominated as one of the top three installers at the G14 awards in November, just weeks after it won Network VEKA’s national top installer trophy. Thistle’s Nick Robson commented after the G14 ceremony: “The Network VEKA awards are based on the acclaim of our customers and the G14 nomination is the recognition of our peers in the industry, so both accolades are equally important to us but in different ways.” Glazerite is VEKA’s largest trade fabricator in the UK as well as a prominent and long-standing Network VEKA member. It offers a fully nationwide service based on manufacturing units in Northants and Greater Manchester as well as a distribution hub in Bristol serving South Wales and The West of England. Nick was quick to credit all the staff at Thistle for their part in its success and also Glazerite for its support as fabricator for the past two years: “Glazerite gives us not only a great product but also the kind of service and technical support that are important to any successful installer. With the combination of the VEKA system, Network VEKA and Glazerite, we could not wish for better. “Watch out for us at the G15s, we’ll be trying even harder to win next year!” Pick up the PRO Installer, FREE, from one of over 600 trade counters.
