But not at Freefoam! We felt that the time was right to commission and deliver a broad PR and digital campaign called ‘Helping Customers Grow’. The aims of the programme are to shine a light on the roofline market and its supply chain, to showcase all areas of our business and to illustrate how, as manufacturers, we consistently deliver products and services to help our customers grow. Freefoam has launched Helping Customers Grow. Working with MRA Marketing and digital agency Mind Made, we have created a wide range of high quality, innovative material for print and digital channels to bring our story to life. From thought-provoking articles, to customer interviews, installer stories, and video testimonials, the message has been delivered across the roofline and glazing press and target audiences across all digital and social channels. Colin St John, Commercial Director explained: “We know that, although the outlook is uncertain, we are a strong and secure company able to withstand the rigours of the market. With a robust infrastructure and nearly 30 years of delivering to our customers we have a strong and consistent story to tell. Indeed it’s been incredibly inspiring to hear throughout this programme our customers’ stories of success and to know that we have played an integral part in that development.” www.freefoam.com LET THERE BE – NATURAL – LIGHT One of the most important factors for the homeowners carrying out a single story extension in Sutton, Surrey, was how best to illuminate their new living space with enough natural light. TuffX’s contemporary aluminium rooflight, which was developed in-house at its Merseyside HQ, is available in anthracite grey as standard and has been designed not just with aesthetics in mind, but also to be exceptionally fitter friendly. After considering a number of options, the owners were eventually won over by the new, high quality aluminium framed rooflights from TuffX – specifying a total of three,1,300mm x 2,190mm units featuring blue, solar control glazing. Graham Price, MD of TuffX, commented: “Installers love our aluminium framed rooflights because they represent an attractive, easy to install and high value product that is in demand from consumers.” www.tuffxglass.co.uk THIS WILL GRAB YOUR ATTENTION! Geocel says its ‘theWORKS XXX’ is the holy grail of high grab adhesives – a fast-acting, ultra-strength product which gives 50% more grab than traditional grab adhesives on almost any substrate in any condition without shrinking or staining. theWORKS XXX is paintable, resists mould growth, will not crack or shrink, and is resistant to impact and vibration. The company says it is the perfect product to keep in the back of the van to help get you out of any tight spot. With an ultra-fast bond on almost any material indoors or out, theWORKS XXX will work not just in the damp but actually underwater, making it perfect for emergency repairs when it’s chucking it down. The cold is equally immaterial as this product works brilliantly across a wide temperature range. www.geocel.co.uk MORE PRAISE FOR ULTRAROOF Ultraroof has been shortlisted for a third National award in a matter of months, with the most recent nomination being for Best Solid Roof System at the Pitched Roofing Awards. Ultraroof has been nominated in the Pitched Roofing Awards which reward excellence in the sector. Ultraframe Marketing Director, Alex Hewitt, said: “It’s fair to say that it’s been quite a year for Ultraroof! In February we saw it crowned as the solid roof preferred by 8 out of 10 homeowners during independent research, several months later the system was relaunched with a host of new features and benefits, and now we’ve seen Ultraroof shortlisted for 3 prestigious National awards in just a matter of months!” www.ultraframetrade.co.uk 70 TINOV/DEC <strong>2019</strong> PRACTICAL CONTENT FOR THE GLAZING INSTALLER & HOME IMPROVEMENT SPECIALIST
