Monowa Manufacturing Line Up With Alco Beldan
Monowa Manufacturing is the latest company to line up alongside Alco Beldan as part of the growing Accordial Group who specialise in acoustic movable walls and sliding folding screens.
Established in a terrace house at Hessle in 1970, the group is now one of the largest of its kind in the regions, employing around 500 people, including 330 permanent staff.
In addition to its success in the domestic sector, EYG is a major supplier to the commercial market.
EYG Joint Managing Director Nick Ward said the performance far exceeded previous years and was as a result of the company's continued expansion programme into new areas coupled with the growing popularity of conservatories as virtual home extensions.
He added: "The actual number of conservatory deals achieved represents just one per cent of the total UK market but for us this represents a significant amount.
In 2000, the number of conservatories provided in the UK was just 78,000.
This rose to 102,000 in 2007 and we are expecting the figure to top 120,000 in the next three years.
"One of the main reasons for this market expansion is that conservatories are no longer regarded as luxury items.
They can of course be luxurious but the quality of build and materials means they are now genuine habitable rooms often bought by homeowners as an alternative to the more expensive bricks and mortar extension".
EYG's main sales area stretches from Flamborough in the North, across to Harrogate and Sheffield, down to Derby and Leicester and finally to Peterborough.
In the next few weeks, the company will be announcing plans for a further major expansion of its territory.
