Soverign and VEKA pull in the crowds at Harrogate

Sharing the stand with VEKA plc, Sovereign showcased its abilities within the public sector highlighting projects it has transformed using the VEKA Matrix system.

Situated at the heart of The Chartered Institute of Housing Exhibition, based in Harrogate, window and door manufacturer and installer Sovereign Group attracted an abundance of executives from local authorities, housing associations, arms length management organisations and the private sectors, not to mention resident boards this year seeing their visitor numbers greatly increase compared to this time last year.

Sharing the stand with established profile systems fabricator, VEKA plc, Sovereign showcased its abilities within the public sector highlighting projects it has transformed using the VEKA Matrix system.

"Having VEKA join us this year, we were able to hit home just how unrivalled our products are in terms of providing ultimate protection from the elements, but more importantly the high security specifications they meet," comments Senior Business Development Manager of Sovereign Jim Gregson.

"The event has been very successful for us, enabling us to maintain contact with old clients keeping them up-to-date with our product developments, our most recent case studies and our latest Key Performance Indicators that underpin our commitment and quality to service".

"Not only that, we have had direct access to a wealth of new faces from resident boards and Chief Executives from housing associations, local authorities and health trusts and ...and the response we have had back from them has been fantastic".

Visitors to the stand were not only able to see how Sovereign's products can alter the appearance of even the most run down buildings, but they were able to experience first hand the support systems it has in place ranging from pre-tender surveys, budgetary cost packages, planning and designing to financial viability and technical support - something that is further augmented by its supply partnership with VEKA plc.

Sovereign and VEKA's commitment to environment and sustainability played a big part in attracting the crowds this year, seeing Sovereign highlight the practical steps it takes to minimise the environmental impact of its procedures at every stage, from the factory to materials, transport, energy management and of course recycling.

This was strengthened by VEKA taking the opportunity to show how it recycles all of its products and how it works with its customers including Sovereign to ensure this is carried out in the most efficient way possible.

"Our aim at events like this is to showcase how we operate and what is the added value we can bring to the communities in which we operate".

"With VEKA sharing our stand this year we have been able to highlight our strategy to partnering, and how this provides Best Value all round...2007's event has been a resounding success for us in showing the housing sector how we can help them achieve their targets and objectives all the way down the line," concluded Mr Gregson.
