The Glazerite UK Group has expanded its reach with the launch of its newly-created North Division. Based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, the site offers VEKA installers operating in the area access to the leading trade fabricator’s broad product range, backed up by bespoke marketing support, and a commitment to mutual business growth.
Rob Brearley, Glazerite’s Group Managing Director, says: “Yorkshire and the Humber is home to a number of VEKA installers as well as experienced personnel who can add value to our business and help secure further growth for Glazerite and our customers. We’ve been looking to expand our presence for a while; opening a site in Yorkshire enables us to better service our existing customers and welcome new ones. In conjunction with our Northwest Division in Bolton, it means we can better support those customers based further north and into Scotland with a higher level of service.”
Operating out of the Barnsley facility is new starter, Darryl Count, who joined Glazerite on 28th February 2022 as Office Manager, North Division. Darryl, who began his career in fenestration 30 years ago, brings with him a wealth of experience and industry knowledge. Darryl says: “I’ve been aware of Glazerite’s growing success for many years. Having worked with VEKA products for 25 years, the opportunity to build on and help grow the Glazerite business in the North was a great fit. I’ve also worked with Rob Brearley in the past, which was a big factor in my decision.”
Rob adds: “Having spent so long in the industry, Darryl’s expertise will help us to grow our presence and strengthen our overall position as a leading UK fabricator. As well as leading a team based out of the North Division, Darryl will support our Group-wide customer services and order processing teams to deliver an exceptional customer experience.”
