A product range ideally suited to both volume residential and light commercial markets, and an impressive package of customer support as standard both helped to convince ESH (Projects) Ltd that AluK was the right aluminium supply partner to support its ambitious growth plans.
ESH (Projects) Ltd is a commercial fabrication and installation specialist based in Ipswich, which already has a long and impressive track record in architectural aluminium, but is looking to broaden its mid-market appeal, particularly amongst developers of apartments and mixed use retail projects, as well as schools.
ESH Director Daniel Elliston says in a market with lots of similar offerings from systems companies, AluK offers something distinctly different. He explained: “AluK’s product line up enables us to offer popular, proven and competitive solutions right across windows, entrance doors, sliders and curtain walling. We can now quote and win projects for which we just wouldn’t previously have been considered.
“A few of our fabricators and estimators had used AluK before and were really positive about how easy and connected the systems are to work with, and that’s definitely proved to be the case, which is adding further to our competitiveness.”
Over and above the products though, what ESH (Projects) Ltd is particularly enthusiastic about in the new partnership is the energy and dynamism at AluK, and the value of the support services which are offered as standard.
Daniel added: “From the moment we started talking to AluK, the team made it clear that they would help us grow. We’ve had great technical support already on fabrication and installation of the products, and we know there’s expert help available on design, specification, sales, marketing and compliance.
“We’ve also taken advantage of the impressive facilities at the London Design Studio and have already won new work from customers who have visited and been impressed by the AluK products and overall set up.
“AluK are clearly investing in us just as much as we are investing in them – and we’re really looking forward to building a strong and successful partnership.”
Russell Yates, MD of AluK GB said: “We’re delighted to have ESH on board with us. They’re exactly the kind of ambitious company that AluK can add real value to with our market leading support package and proven reputation in the mainstream commercial sector.”
In the months since ESH (Projects) Ltd chose to work with AluK, the company has won new contracts in Suffolk, Essex and South East London, with more details to be released soon.
