23rd November 2018
Welcome to the November Edition of Trade Counter News.
 This year Hodgson Sealants has celebrated their 50th year in business after the company was founded in 1968 by Peter Hodgson and today remains a family business, managed by Charles Hodgson, the current managing director.
Over the last 50 years the company has seen fundamental changes in glazing and the way in which sealants are used in manufacturing and installation processes. The company is also a founding member of the GGF, long-standing member of the BWF and will be exhibiting at the FIT Show in 2019.
Today the company boasts an impressive range of sealants, glazing tapes and heritage putty with all products carefully tested, certified and manufactured in the UK. With all the discontent and business risk surrounding Brexit, Hodgson Sealants are perfectly placed to supply the aluminium, PVCu and timber sectors with proven products and have grown to be the largest independent manufacturer of sealants in the UK.

| Senior offers more colour choices when you ‘ask for Ali’ |
|
Leading manufacturer Senior Architectural Systems is bringing a splash of colour to homes across the UK as the company reports an increase in orders for its popular Ali FOLD aluminium doors and Ali VU aluminium windows in a variety of eye-catching powder-coated shades and finishes.
The recent launch of Senior’s Signature colour collection has not only made it easier for trade installers to showcase the choice of colours available but has also inspired their residential customers to create a real style statement, with the subtle yet attractive metallic blue hue of Glacial Spark emerging as a clear favourite.
Unlike many other system manufacturers, Senior is able to service all its customers’ colour demands at its dedicated in-house powder-coating facility which is one of the largest and most technically advanced in the UK. With no need to outsource any orders, the reliable and high quality service that Senior can offer, along with the associated cost and time savings, is also proving popular with the company’s growing network of trade customers. |
