Hoppe (UK), the leading supplier of door and window hardware, is anodising its hardware so installers can offer homeowners a unique package.
Keith Holt, Joint Managing Director of Hoppe (UK), one of the leading suppliers of door and window hardware, believes that hardware buyers should rightly expect qualified, expert advice from their suppliers - not just hot air to get a sale.
"We put many of our staff through the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers Diploma course - the only recognised professional qualification within the architectural ironmongery industry - so that customers can have confidence in the support they get, we even have our own in house tutor".
"It's a reflection of how importantly Hoppe values responding quickly and accurately to our customers needs." The Guild was founded in 1961 to promote standards in integrity and excellence in the business of Architectural Ironmongery - setting a standard among companies in the industry.
Each new applicant to the Guild has a three year study period covering topics like Architectural Hardware and Escape Hardware.
On completion they receive a Diploma and become Registered Architectural Ironmonger's.
The qualification lapses after three years if Continuous Professional Development is not maintained.
Keith continues: "10 of Hoppe's team are already qualified".
"The knowledge they gain from this Diploma ensures that all of our customers continue to get top quality service as well as top quality hardware.".
