The Customade Group is bolstering partnerships with installers by helping them to tap in to its group-wide expertise and extensive suite of products and move away from the inherent issues associated with juggling multiple suppliers. The ‘We’ve Got It Covered’ campaign has already enticed a number of installers to switch to the Gloucestershire-based operation for a complete supply solution for windows, doors, conservatory roofs and sealed glass units. Claire Miller, Customade Group Marketing Manager says: “We sat down with lots of our installers and found that, although many Lockex Cover [FINAL].pdf 04/02/2015 16:14:42 are upbeat about1 a change in the market, they can feel disadvantaged because they’re dealing with several different suppliers. They face quality, supply and cash flow issues on a daily basis, which Claire Miller, Customade Group Marketing Manager hardly leaves them in a position to make the most of an upturn in the market. “The aim of this group-wide campaign is to build long standing alliances with our customers and bring a host of benefits to them that they just don’t get with multiple suppliers. It delivers reassurance, convenience and value by enabling installers to source all their products from one single supplier. And crucially, it supports those installers who are keen to broaden their scope and diversify into product areas that they may never have considered before.” With four well established trade companies; Customade (UK) Ltd, Hourglass Seal, Atlas Glazed Roof Solutions, and Fineline Aluminium the Customade Group supplies one of the widest product ranges in the industry.

Have your say at www.bit.do/lockex Follow @Lockex2016 Lockex, a new and exciting trade exhibition completely aimed at the independent locksmith and auto-locksmith industry, is set to be launched at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry in September 2016. The event is being organised by the Clearview Group, whose published trade titles include; Clearview, Pro Installer and The Farmers Mart, and will be primarily promoted through its market leading publication ‘The Locksmith Journal’. Rob Exley, Clearview Sales Director, commented: “We had been toying with the idea of launching a show for the Locksmiths for quite a while and through the pub- lishing of our magazine; The Locksmith Journal, we felt we were ideally positioned to match and provide the needs of the industry. “After approaching our advertisers and readers of the magazine, they agreed that the industry was in need of a show which focused on the industry as a whole, not just a select area.” The Group sent out over 2,500 surveys to its database of locksmiths before moving ahead with plans for the show, and used the responses to make decisions on the location, content and activities for the show. “The show is for locksmiths and it is important to us they have their say on how the show will run, including the decision on where to hold the show; somewhere central with ease of access.” Rob con 6
