Solidor, the composite door pioneer, continues to launch industry firsts and yet the launch of their Recommended Installer scheme is arguably one of their most impressive yet. Not only that, it’s free to join as is their range of marketing support materials.  The Recommended Installer scheme is the first of its kind in the composite door sector and is designed to drive sales leads with installers facing two options: option one is to become a recommended installer and option 2 is to become a premium installer when they have Solidor products on display in a showroom or similar environment. All installers are then listed on the new consumer facing Solidor website at www.solidor.co.uk.

The industry-leading trade organisation has kicked off a number of MTC (Minimum Technical Competence) seminars for its Assure members, with fantastic turnouts at Manchester City Football Club, Leeds Tenants Enterprise Centre and Dunston Hall at Norwich. Over 60 delegates attended the Manchester seminar on 15th January, with a further 30 at Leeds on 22nd January and almost 20 at Dunston Hall on 29th January; all part of a series of seminars being held across the UK for its Assure members.  

Much has been said and many claims made over the strength or otherwise of composite doors.  Indeed, there’s one company claiming that a GRP composite door collapses in a shower of polyurethane foam with a few good knocks with a police issue ‘Enforcer’.  Well, it’s certainly not the case with Distinction’s Nan Ya GRP composite door. 

Industry-leading trade association Network VEKA will be attending the FIT Show in April alongside VEKA Recycling.  Located in Hall 1, Stand 1-325, members organisation Network VEKA will be looking to attract new installers to their ever-growing membership at the event, as MD John Ogilvie explains: “Comprising of the very best VEKA window, door and conservatory installers and fabricators in the UK, we see the FIT Show as the ideal place to connect with potential new members, as well as a great opportunity to catch up with existing members who are visiting the show.
