PVC-U SYSTEMS<br />
Growth for investment<br />
Following a record year in<br />
which Dempsey Dyer is<br />
due to break £9m turnover for<br />
the first time in its 38 year<br />
history, the Yorkshire based<br />
PVC-U and timber fabricator<br />
has invested £100k in new<br />
machinery.<br />
The investment includes<br />
new corner cleaners from<br />
Urban.<br />
Managing director Peter<br />
Dyer says: “Our financial year<br />
end (March 2016) looks set to<br />
be one of our strongest ever,<br />
with the PVC-U and timber<br />
divisions forecast to deliver<br />
record sales of over £6.5m and<br />
£3m respectively. Wewant to<br />
really put our foot on the gas Peter Dyer<br />
and continue this growth<br />
throughout 2016, so have decided to make investments<br />
right the way across the business.The new machinery is<br />
just the first of manyimprovements we plan to implement<br />
over the coming months.”<br />
In 2016, Dempsey Dyer will be<br />
implementing a controlled<br />
expansion of its 64,000sq ft<br />
facility, enabling an increase<br />
productivity and satisfy the<br />
record order book.<br />
Dyer says: “We’ve already<br />
introduced a split shift in the<br />
timber factory and there are<br />
plans afoot to further increase<br />
the manufacturing output. Next<br />
year will also see the launch of<br />
new products, ensuring we<br />
remain at the cutting edge of the<br />
continually evolving windowand<br />
door marketplace.”<br />

Loughborough-based Wilson Windows<br />
has recently switched its supplier toThe<br />
Veka UK Group after 26 years with its<br />
previous systems company.<br />
Dale Wilson, director at the family firm<br />
says:“It is the best decision we've ever<br />
made.”<br />
The company, established in 1984 by<br />
Dale's father Michael, is now co-directed<br />
by husband-and-wife team Dale and<br />
Karen Wilson.Their son Callum joined<br />
recently.<br />
“It was Karen that suggested we extend<br />
our offering with anew window option,”<br />
says Wilson.“There are numerous<br />
companies within our target area that<br />
were stocking the same systems as us.<br />
We wanted to differentiate ourselves<br />
and widen our audience in the process.<br />
“Over time,we'd become disillusioned<br />
with our previous supplier.The support promised in their promotional materials never seemed to<br />
materialise; when systems changed, no training was provided and if issues arose as aresult, they did<br />
everything possible to distance themselves.<br />
“I have acontact at Glazerite –which now fabricates our windows –who invited us to view someVeka<br />
systems, and we've not looked back since.There's abetter product range than with our previous<br />
supplier,and that's already been reflected inanincreased uptake since we made the move.Atthe<br />
moment we're booking in jobs for three month's time –agreat start toour relationship withVeka.<br />
We couldn't be happier.” ❐<br />
