Among the many benefits that attracted Aberdeen-based Clearview PVCu
to become an Approved
Installer, is free access to a
dedicated online Marketing
Hub, preloaded with exclusive, professionally-designed
marketing materials that can
be customised to include
company logos, contact
details, etc.
A family-run business,
founded by Lawrence and
Debbie Muirhead in 2002,
Clearview PVCu can now
benefit from a range of personalised brochures, flyers,
pull-up stands and more,
all featuring the company’s
own branding, backed up
by The VEKA UK Group’s
Approved Installer logo to
help engage with and inspire confidence in potential
customers.
National Sales Manager
for the Approved Installer
Scheme, Amy Grundy, was
pleased to issue Clearview
PVCu with one of the first
welcome packs for a Scottish company:
“We are thrilled to have
Clearview PVCu join us
as an Approved Installer.
Lawrence’s personable and
responsible approach to
business has led him to
commit to using high-spec
products from The VEKA
UK Group.
“I look forward to issuing
many more welcome packs
to Scottish installers who
follow Clearview PVCu’s
fine example!”
Besides marketing support, Approved Installers
also benefit from valuable
sales leads from a dedicated
consumer-facing website
and a subsidised website
design and build service –
essential for businesses in
the digital age.

our policy of continuous improvement in terms of content,
readership and distribution and
we are well on target for 20142015.
“We have recently added to
our editorial team by welcoming three new members, tasked
with delivering the essential information you need to run your
business effectively, in sections
of the magazine such as Pro
Skills and Pro Regs. As always
though, we would like to hear
from you about the issues that
are most affecting you and
your business, so please get in
