The UK fenestration industry continues to navigate one of its most turbulent periods. With an alarming rise in pre-packs, liquidations, and supplier failures, many trade professionals are facing unexpected project delays, broken supply chains, and growing uncertainty.
At a time when trust in the market is being tested, Made For Trade (MFT) stands firm, offering an unshakable commitment to quality, stability, and long-term partnership.
“The UK fenestration industry is currently facing significant challenges, with well-established and once household names collapsing at an alarming rate,” said Bradley Gaunt, Managing Director at Made For Trade. “Economic pressures, rising material costs, shifting consumer demand, and post-pandemic operational strain have created a volatile environment where even the most recognisable brands are facing daily challenges to compete and perform. This instability has left many installers exposed to disruption, uncertainty, and loss of supply chains they once relied upon.
“In contrast, Made For Trade stands as a beacon of reliability. With over 40 years of trading history and a flawless record, having never gone bust or restructured, we have weathered industry storms and emerged stronger each time. Our Korniche-branded products have become synonymous with innovation, quality, and service excellence, and are backed by a business model built on resilience and long-term commitment to our customers. As the industry reshapes and consolidates, it has never been more important to align with a partner that offers not just market-leading products but stability, continuity, and trust. Made For Trade is that partner: tried, tested, and here for the long term.”
Backed by its flagship Korniche Roof Lantern and Bifold Door, MFT continues to lead the trade sector in both product design and customer service. Installers benefit from:
- Multi-award-winning products, engineered for performance and ease of installation
- Fair, consistent pricing
- Free direct-to-site delivery, streamlining logistics and reducing project disruption
- KwikQuote, a proprietary instant quoting platform for effortless onboarding and fast ordering
- Dedicated UK-based support from people who understand the trade
In line with its latest “lifebuoy” campaign, MFT is calling on installers, builders and fabricators affected by the ripples from supplier uncertainty to reach out and regain control with a partner that has the history, reputation, and strength to weather the storms.
