Rapierstar’s 20-year partnership with leading distributor Window Ware has proved invaluable in ensuring fastener supplies to its fabricator customers have continued reliably, and consistently, throughout the exceptionally busy home improvement boom of the past 12 months. Reflecting the value both companies place on long term supply partnerships, Window Ware and Rapierstar have worked together for over two decades to develop a deep understanding of each other’s businesses for the ultimate benefit of fabricators and installers.

A father and daughter team are investing over £100,000 into opening their first ever showroom. Leighanne and Greg Cox are looking to expand Speedy Home Improvements by creating a dedicated space in Horsham that will showcase six different living spaces and their new windows and doors range. The duo are looking to capitalise on pent-up demand from homeowners keen to press the button on big projects and are hoping the 5000 sq ft facility on Foundry Lane will help the business grow 30% by the end of 2021. Five new jobs will be created as a result of the investment, including one front of house position, two sales roles and two apprentice fitters to support the installation team.

Onsite 7, the job management software designed for the trade by the trade has been gaining plaudits with installers due to the numerous benefits it can deliver to businesses.  Jason Grafton-Holt, Managing Director of B&P Windows in Wakefield recently signed up to Onsite 7 and says: “I would urge any busy installer to take a look at Onsite 7.” He explains: “We had been looking for software that would allow us to track appointments at the point of being made, all the way to service calls and every stage in between. Onsite 7 did this and more, all whilst remaining incredibly simple to use.”
