21 PRO INSTALLER JUNE 2015 PRO NEWS @proinstaller1 30th Anniversary A County Durham-based Halo Approved Fabricator and Installer is marking its 30th year in business with a move to new, larger premises near Chester-le-Street. BMW Windows was established in 1985, with founders Bent, Murphy and Wilkinson lending their initials to the company name. Its current executive team – John and Debbie Jefferson and their sons, John and Andrew – took over the running of the company in 1997-98, with John Snr. leaving his accountancy job to branch out in business alone. He commented: “We’re proud to have reached this milestone. Our association with Halo and The VEKA UK Group in general stands us in good stead with customers, who realise that we only work with the best. Now being able to display our products in the comfort of a bespoke showroom, customers have the opportunity to browse our range of products firsthand.” “We have invested more than £300,000 in the new showroom and factory” John continues. “It’s created the capacity we need to sustain our growth, with turnover increasing by 22% over the past three years.” Colin Torley, Sales and Marketing Director for The VEKA UK Group congratulated BMW on the recent expansion: “It’s fantastic to see Halo fabricators and installers overcoming and now flourishing in the wake of an economic downturn that held significant repercussions for the home improvement industry. “The family atmosphere has filtered down from the directors throughout the entire BMW team. There’s a real sense of pride in the business and its future, and we’re honoured that Halo products continue to play an integral part in its story.” A family fun day took place on 30th May 2015 saw the launch of BMW’s new showroom. www.vekauk.com ‘There’s a real sense of pride in the business and its future’ YOU HAVE FITTED SECURE LOCKS BUT ARE THE WINDOWS SIMPLY LIKE UNLOCKED DOORS TO A BURGLAR? Many homes have double glazed windows where the glass is secured by a beading on the outside. This can easily be removed and is one of the most common ways that burglars get in. Taking out the glass is quick and makes no noise. NO-GO GLASS LOCKS lock the glass into the frame so that the glass cannot be removed without smashing the glass. NO-GO GLASS LOCKS are designed to be easily fitted to existing windows and are a very cost-effective way to make a property even more secure. NO-GO SECURITY PRODUCTS are looking for companies to sell and install our NO-GO GLASS LOCKS. If you would like to expand your business then contact us.
