The dawn of a new order - and new orders

摘要

There can be no doubt in anyone's mind that the Coronavirus has changed the world as we know it. Although many manufacturers, including ourselves, have returned to limited production under strict safety measures, the lockdown is still very much in place. We are not expecting to go back to 'normality' for the foreseeable future, and that normal might be very different. Indeed, when restrictions are finally loosened and we can all start to emerge from our homes, blinking in the sunlight like bewildered moles, it's highly unlikely that the world will ever look quite the same again. Our industry needs to prepare for a new order. I'm not talking about a Mad Max-style post apocalypse situation, but rather a new way that we look at how we sell, how we install and how we continue to keep each other safe. For us, it's not just a case of just going back to selling the same products as before. One of the last things that we did before the lockdown, was to expand our roof options. Not only are we the UK's largest trade manufacturer of the Guardian Warm Roof, we have now added the complete Ultraframe range to the products we offer. During lockdown, we have put together the marketing and sales support so that we are ready to help customers to make the most of these superb new products.
