The Ascot Group, a marketing services group that serves the glazing industry, has attained a major milestone reaching 100 employees.
The group includes Purplex Marketing, Insight Data and the Glazing Summit conference, and was founded by industry veteran Andrew Scott in 2004.
Andrew commented: “Only 0.3% of the 5.5 million businesses in the UK reach 100 employees so it’s a very special milestone, and it follows 20% year-on-year growth as we help even more customers achieve their goals.”
Andrew started in the window, door and conservatory industry 35 years ago, and over that time has acquired, built and sold several companies. He developed the business strategy that propelled super-fabricator Cambrian Windows from 100 to 3,000 frames per week in 36 months, before it was acquired by U.S. Fortune 500 company, Masco.
Today Andrew is a leading consultant to some of the industry’s biggest companies. His marketing company, Purplex, specialises in brand strategy and lead generation, while Insight Data provides almost 1000 users across the industry with in-depth market intelligence, research and marketing data.
Andrew added: “Over the last 35 years I’ve seen the industry evolve and adapt and it’s been a pleasure to work with, advise or support many of the industry’s most successful companies and leaders.
“I’ll be bringing all of our combined knowledge and expertise together when we host the Glazing Summit conference later in the year, but in the meantime we’ll continue to invest in people and support our customers.”
