Windowbase to the rescue as Focal stops installer dataFocal customers have been contacting Windowbase after being told that they will no longer be supplied with prospect data for window installers. In a recent letter to customers, Focal Research said that market volatility makes it: "…difficult and time consuming to monitor and update installer data, due to the high level of installers that have gone into administration and out of business recently." However, Windowbase customers continue to benefit from regular, accurate updates, thanks to its extensive research, which includes over 40,000 telephone calls a year. Focal has asked customers to sign a form agreeing to receive only fabricator data in the future, but many firms have turned to Windowbase instead. Neil Parsonson, General Manager of Windowbase comments: "We have the largest and most comprehensive database of window companies in the UK - and now in Ireland as well - with details of more than 14,000 firms. As a result of the quality and depth of our research, Windowbase has hundreds more window, door and conservatory fabricators and installers on its database than any other supplier. We also provide a much greater depth of information about each company, such as materials, window system, frames per week (fabricators) and numbers of fitting teams (installers). Windowbase also has over 8,800 window company records with an email address - thousands more than other suppliers offer. Focal customers who want more should contact me directly on 01453 845717 or info@windowbase.info." |
