The Glazerite UK Group Ltd has joined the newly-established Bluesky Certification scheme in partnership with the Network VEKA ACE initiative which provides many additional benefits.
The company is the largest PVC-U trade fabricator so far to sign up to Bluesky since the specialist certification body was launched last September. Glazerite Director Jason Thompson said “This is an organisation with a fresh, modern approach that is committed to giving us far more than just a certificate to put on the wall.
“Among many other advantages, working with this partnership allows us to cascade data from VEKA and Halo products without the need for type testing, which means any change of hardware is quick and easy.
“The cascading allows us to certificate a far wider range of hardware, providing us with enhanced flexibility on our product choice.
“There are many very real advantages with Bluesky Certification, all of which will be shared with our installer partners across the country, these namely being improved efficiencies and service, which can only benefit us all.”
The move also means that all three of the newly-expanded Group’s manufacturing sites will operate under the same scheme, which further streamlines the operation as a whole.
Simon Beer of Bluesky Certification said: “We are pleased that Glazerite have decided to work with Bluesky Certification as their certification body of choice. It is a great start to the business to have a major player such as Glazerite join as one of the founding members. Our aim is to provide the industry with credible certification and a high level of service at a competitive price and we have enjoyed demonstrating this approach when working with Glazerite.”
Before setting up Bluesky, Simon has over 16 years’ experience in developing and running certification schemes, having worked for BM TRADA Certification. During his time at BM TRADA, Simon developed and operated the majority of the BM TRADA Q-Mark door, window and glass schemes, as well as implementing services such as IGU testing and training.
The Glazerite UK Group Ltd is VEKA’s largest trade fabricator in the UK and a long-standing Network VEKA member. It offers a fully nationwide service based on manufacturing units in Northants, Peterborough and Greater Manchester as well as its South West distribution hub in Bristol serving South Wales and The West of England.
