Future Ready Together At Fabricator Forum

‘Future ready together’ was the theme of this year’s Eurocell fabricator forum, which was attended by over 80 fabricators determined to grow their businesses.

Eurocell’s message to its fabricator was that it wants to provide the knowledge, tools and products they need to grow.

The power of partnership and working together was highlighted throughout all the presentation sessions. With early signs of growth already visible leading up to the election and industry challenges beginning to ease, the potential for success was made clear.

 This year’s forum was Eurocell’s biggest to date, taking place in June at Pride Park Stadium in Derby. The system house launched a number of products, initiatives and exclusive benefits for its fabricator partners as well as running through its strategic vision.

 This included the recently announced ‘Eurocell Grow’, a partner programme to help fabricators grow their business and stand out in their markets.

 

Collaboration

CEO, Darren Waters, who delivered a presentation on investing for the future at the forum, believes the event highlighted the power of collaboration and the resilience of the industry. He says: “It was a fantastic day and there was a real buzz and energy. The response we’ve had from partners indicates that they feel we are on the same page and all working together to drive innovation, share best practices, and ultimately support the success of our businesses and industry following a tough period.”

 

The forum featured several key sessions including:

  • Gary Driscoll, sales & commercial director at Eurocell and host for the forum, kicked off the proceedings with a detailed snapshot of the market and shared updates from the Eurocell technical panel.

  • Ian Kernaghan, head of new products, design & development at Eurocell, spoke on innovation and sustainability, detailing upcoming sustainability initiatives.

  • Martin Benn, head of new build at Eurocell, presented ‘Adapting for Tomorrow,’ discussing the changing regulatory landscape and how Eurocell is prepared to meet these challenges.

  • Sean Bunyan, head of commercial operations at Eurocell, shared insights on inspirational lifestyle products, highlighting growth opportunities in garden rooms and extensions.

  • The marketing team, James Bosley, senior marketing manager and Kiran Slater, marketing manager, officially launched the new Eurocell Grow programme for fabricators and shared the benefits on offer.

 

What they said

Nick Trueman of Direct Window Supplies, said: “It’s good to see industry colleagues outside the typical day-to-day, share ideas and go back with opportunities to reinvigorate the business to drive sales and growth heading towards next year.”

Robert Waller of Lister Windows said: “It’s very important for our business to have community, to talk innovation and taking the time to get people together is absolutely key to success.”

 

External speakers were also in attendance at the forum and included:

  • Alex Lewis and Leon James from Renolit, who discussed upcoming colour trends.

  • Michael Butterick, marketing director at Saint Gobain-Glass, provided insights from the Energy House 2.0 project, featuring Eurocell Modus windows in a state-of-the-art, real-world testing environment to assess thermal, air tightness, and noise reduction performance.
