Another record trophy rout…
Glazerite installers have once again returned triumphant, beating all-comers to win five out of six of the main National Independent Network Awards at the organisation’s annual ceremony.
The haul this year, beats The Glazerite UK Group Ltd’s previous run of records, with its customers claiming a trophy in every sales category of the awards except one – and even that winner sources some products from the Group.
Top in the £2million-plus category was Thistle, making a fantastic 16th win in the IN and previously Network VEKA Awards for the Aberdeen-based company. In the £1-2million, another repeat winner, Cheadle Glass returned to collect its fourth trophy, while Cannock-based Goliath Homeworld, in the £600k-£1m group, took its seventh. Wilson Windows of Loughborough won the £400k-600k award, having previously ben voted Best Newcomer in 2016, and first-time winner but previous finalist Mews Windows of Walsall came top in the £250k and under.
Just to add to the tally of accolades, Glazerite is primary supplier to 16 of the 36 finalists and secondary supplier to five more.
The Glazerite UK Group Ltd Director Jason Thompson said: “We are really proud of all of our installer partners and very happy that we have been able to support them. They have always excelled themselves at the IN and Network VEKA Awards but they just go on getting better every year.
“Seeing all of their trophies, past and present, just shows what can be achieved when competent, professional installers are given all the support they need to bring to bring out best in each of them.”
The awards were presented by Sky Sports presenter Chris Kamara at the Independent Network AGM, Conference and Gala Dinner at the Chesford Grange Hotel, Kenilworth, on Saturday (June 16).
