Conservatories & Ancillaries

Conservatory Outlet dealer West Yorkshire Windows recently starred in primetime TV programme, Noel’s Christmas Presents, which is reported to be the most viewed show on Sky TV. The retail window company was called in by the show’s producers to provide and build a conservatory for tireless charity worker Valerie Lepedat.

Seven years ago, Valerie established a charity to help people who were suffering from the effects of chemotherapy but today, Valerie is terminally ill with breast cancer herself. Noel’s Christmas Presents was created to reward people like Valerie, by presenting them with gifts for deserving people that they could otherwise simply not receive.
 
The team behind the popular TV show discovered that Valerie’s charity, Aurora, is based in a building too small for its needs, and that Valerie had expressed a desire for it to be extended with a conservatory. West Yorkshire Windows and Conservatory Outlet were invited to take part, and make Valerie’s dream a reality.

The 90-minute show, which appeared over Christmas, showed Noel Edmonds present Valerie with a holiday. This gave the professionals at West Yorkshire Windows enough time to build the 8m x 4m conservatory adjoining the existing Aurora Centre at Mexborough Montague Hospital. Once it was completed, Noel Edmonds – together with friends and family – surprised Valerie with the gift, along with a plaque commemorating all the hard work she had done.

Andrew Glover, director of West Yorkshire Windows, said: “When we got the call from the production company, we jumped at the chance to help. Val has helped so many people with selfless actions – it was the least we could do to make her centre more comfortable for her patients.”

Jayne, Valerie’s nominator, said: “I cannot quantify the number of hours Val puts into the charity each and every week, or the many compromises she must have made to her own family life in order to support Aurora, but Val does this very quietly and humbly, avoiding recognition and reward when in reality she is to many 'the face of Aurora'.”
In return for West Yorkshire Windows and Conservatory Outlet’s charitable efforts, Sky promoted the company wherever possible, including a link to the company’s website from Sky’s website. Furthermore, almost 6 million people were expected to watch the programme.
