It’s unbelievable to think that this month marks three years since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. When the government urged everybody to stay home, no one could predict what the following months and years had in store – particularly for the home improvement industry.
The pandemic caused a home improvement boom and companies working in the industry saw a huge increase in demand. But as the UK returned to a new normal, demand slowed, and consumers were hit with a number of fresh challenges.
As the country continues to manage the fallout and recovery of the pandemic and cost of living crisis, it’s set to be a rocky road ahead. However, it’s not all doom and gloom and there are still plenty of opportunities available for ambitious installers that have the determination to push forward in these difficult times.
One company that has always been dedicated to go above and beyond to support installers is Preston-based tiled roof specialists SupaLite. Following a record year for the company, the team are determined to keep doing what they can for installers.
“It’s been an incredibly long three years that have included lots of highs and lows for the home improvement industry,” explains Cassie Watters, Marketing Manager at SupaLite.
“We’ve always been driven to provide fantastic customer service and while we were able to adapt and make things work during the pandemic, we weren’t able to do one of the things that we’ve become well known for over the last 10 years.”
Since launching in 2012, SupaLite has built a credible reputation not only for manufacturing and designing high-quality products but for also providing an exceptional service for its installers, including arranging impressive installer events.
“Installers that have worked with us for many years have come to love our events which bring key players from the industry together and we think it’s time we dust off our hosting skills.
“We are planning new events so members can see and learn more about our products first-hand and also get to network with likeminded professionals.”
The dedicated SupaLite Registered Installer scheme
Since 2019, SupaLite has been supporting installers across the UK through their bespoke initiative known as the SupaLite Registered Installer scheme. All members are given exclusive access to a dedicated account manager, on-hand technical support, the full range of renowned SupaLite products as well as high quality marketing material and point of sales literature including branded workwear, lanyards, van stickers and door drop flyers.
“We know this year is going to be tricky to navigate so we’re happy to support our members as much as possible,” adds Cassie.
“It doesn’t matter if they have questions about installing a SupaLite product or want to learn more about promoting their business to the wider market or consumers – we’re always here to help.”
As customer service is a big focus for the tiled roof specialists this year, the team are currently in the process of reviewing and updating the existing Registered Installer scheme which has been incredibly successful since it first launched four years ago.
“At SupaLite, we’re continuously looking at what we do to make sure we create high quality products and deliver a fantastic service.” explains Cassie.
“We’re looking at what we can do to make it even bigger and better than before so that we’re offering more support and generating more leads to achieve incredible results that will help our ambitious members to successfully grow their business.”
If you’re not part of the SupaLite Registered Installer scheme but are keen to find out more, the SupaLite team will be attending this year’s FIT Show which is taking place 23-25 May.
