Secure Secure Order !

Spectus fabricator Secure Window and Door Systems of Halesowen, are bucking the trend. At a time when many trade fabricators are feeling the squeeze, they are moving to bigger premises on the back of growing sales!

"We were just getting too big for the old factory", says Managing Director John Wakeman. "The new premises are three times bigger than the old and we have also invested in new plant and machinery to ensure we can continue to meet or exceed our customers requirements."

A big new factory needs big business to keep it busy & running efficiently. John and his team, with support from Spectus, have been working to "secure" new business and have had remarkable success. They have recently won an order for Spectus Vertical Sliding windows, which is probably the biggest single contract the company has ever won.

The windows are to be installed in a new development of executive houses being built in the Leicestershire area. Secure were alerted to the opportunity by Spectus' Sales team, which includes Area Sales Manager Andy Meakin.

"The houses are being built by a large housebuilder from Leicestershire. The VS windows are in keeping with the high standard of construction and fixtures and fitting through out", says John. "We were aware there was a lot of competition for this work so we had to work hard to demonstrate that we are the best people for the job. I think what swung it for us in the end were our observations on the job and our suggestions regarding how to organise production and installation. That helped the client feel comfortable with us - confident that we will do a good job.

"The Spectus Vertical Slider is an excellent window and ideal for new build. Sliding sashes are good for meeting Part B egress, depending, of course, on the overall size of the window. The opening sash slides completely out of the way so there is no obstruction. The Spectus vertical sliding window has also been hot box tested and the results conclusively show that the requirements of Approved Document L can be fully met. The housebuilder will be fitting the windows using Spectus' former, which we are also supplying."

John concludes, "There are lots of things that make these exciting times for us. As well as the new premises and all the new work we are generating, we have brought glass unit manufacture in house for the first time. With so many good things going on I feel the future for Secure is secure!"
