Terry Richardson, of TWR Trade Frames, says that news of economic growth comes at a pivotal moment for his business, following years of recession. The Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne confirmed recently that the UK economy has grown by 0.6% in the second quarter of 2013. All sectors of the economy have contributed to this growth, with construction in particular experiencing a sharp rise of 0.9% compared with the first quarter of 2013 when output was at its lowest level since 2001. Terry comments: “This could be a pivotal moment for us a business. Post 2008 we took a decision to invest in the business, upgrade infrastructure and introduce new products and services; and it is now paying off.” He says: “Throughout the recession we’ve been talking up growth areas for installers such as the aluminium sector and bifold doors; and together with us installers have been taking on these lucrative markets.” For more information call TWR Trade Frames on 0191 565 2200 or visit www.twrtf.co.uk
