Visualise your home with Safestyle doors
Pushing the envelope of technology and innovation, today sees the launch of the brand new state of the art Door Visualiser, on the Safestyle website. This fantastic new application allows you to interactively fit any one of our Safestyle residential doors, or GuardDoor composite doors, to a photo of your own home (or to sample photos provided). The sophisticated movement, sizing and lighting tools allow you to get the perfect fit at any angle, size, and lighting conditions.
Visualise the perfect door for your homeNot only can you fit any standard residential or composite door from the Safestyle range, you can choose the colour and profile that best matches your home. If you’re not sure, you’re just a click away from changing to another colour in an instant without having to fit it again. You can try a front or back door in the traditional white profile or the realistic wood effects of oak or rosewood, or if you’d like to try composite door, choose red, green, blue, black, white, oak or rosewood.
If you’d like to keep a copy of the house with your brand new door design, you can print or save the image. Or if you find yourself torn between two or several different designs and would like an opinion from friends and family, this is a really handy feature to use.
While the Door Visualiser contains the huge range of Safestyle doors and composite doors, there are still so many design features that haven’t yet been incorporated into the Visualiser – such as lead designs, coloured glass, bevels, handles, knockers, etc – so you can expect plenty of future upgrades to enable you to see just how good your home would look with the perfect designs to suit you, right down to the finest detail.
Find the perfect door for your home today!

Another Safestyle customer wins prize draw
Wouldn't it be a nice surprise to start the festive season, as the lucky winner of a prize draw?! Well that's exactly the pleasant kind of fortune that Mr John Griffin of Darwen in Lancashire is now enjoying, having been drawn as November's winner of the Safestyle UK quarterly prize draw. John, 27 and a local joiner, is the latest in a line of winners dating back to 2007.
The Safestyle quarterly prize draw is a part of the Diamond Account Club flexible payments finance package, where customers can enjoy various benefits, including discounts from various trusted partner companies, and automatic entry into the prize draw.
Winners are selected randomly and when John's lucky number came up, it meant that he could have the remaining outstanding balance of £1,484 on his windows paid off in full. "I'm thrilled to have won the Diamond Account Club draw," he said, "The money I've saved will go towards further improvements on my house, I'm planning on refitting the entire bathroom in time for Christmas!"
The latest Safestyle double glazing technology has been helping customers up and down the country save energy by keeping their houses warm and cosy, reducing heating requirements so you can turn your thermostat down and save money on your heating bills.
"I'm really happy with the quality of my new windows and the efficient service that Safestyle provided," added John, "I'm looking forward to the double glazing saving me more energy and money off my heating bills every month too."
Safestyle UK's Managing Director, Steve Birmingham, also commented: "It was a pleasure to inform Mr Griffin of winning the prize draw, and having his outstanding account balance paid off in full. We're pleased that our energy efficient windows will help him save energy and reduce his heating bills, not to mention add value to his home too.
"We're delighted that he was happy with the service that we provided and the standard of our products, as customer satisfaction is of great importance to us. I wish John the best of luck with his new home project."
The next lucky winner of the Safestyle prize draw will be drawn in February 2010, so look out for that!

Safestyle UK news roundup
While there maybe positive signs of let-up in the economic climate, at Safestyle we're doing anything but letting-up. Our drive and approach is still the same as it was before the downturn began: bringing you the latest energy saving double glazing technology to England and Wales, without compromise. Our resilience to the economic storm is now paying even greater dividends, with the calibre of our people rising and emphasis on recruitment at even higher levels than in the past. Our Sales, Canvass and Installation forces continue to expand and strengthen.
Ongoing training is also a main focus: improving the knowledge base and skill levels of our workforces, which will provide added benefits every aspect, including production and efficiency, enabling us to pass on greater benefits to our customers. The accreditations and qualifications continue to be gained, with many high level NVQ passes and ILM Team Leading successes, in partnership with local colleges.
With the Safestyle order book continuing to grow, production continues to increase. The volumes ordered and produced at our factory, Safestyle Manufacturing, are impressive and encouraging, particularly considering the industry's meant to be in a recession. New product updates and developments include improvements to inhouse composite door production with full PAS 23/34 and integrated stock management systems.
Our production team like to play hard as well as work hard and, as with all at Safestyle, our competitive streak is deeply ingrained. Recently they took to the racing track at P&R Karting Challenge Cup 2009, with Safestyle beating the Anglian windows team on the way to a respectable 4th place finish.
On the marketing and advertising front, the Safestyle Window Man has literally been in action in a new TV ad, the first of several coming very soon. Watch this space!

Window Man at Safestyle Manufacturing
Our famously loud Safestyle Window Man recently stormed the factory for a surprise visit, much to the delight of our hard working manufacturing force and management. We expect they could hear him coming as Jeff "The Window Man" Brown went to meet and greet everyone in person over the course of the day. He saw firsthand the latest product developments and double glazing manufacturing machinery that Safestyle has invested in to upgrade and keep ahead with cutting edge glazing technology.
Safestyle's Factory Operations Manager, Keith Jones, was delighted to welcome the Window Man. "I would like to thank Jeff Brown for taking the time out to come down to our Barnsley site," said Keith, "It was an experience to say the least, he had everyone in hysterics." It appears Jeff was a real hit, "By the end of his visit people were jumping off fork lift trucks to have their picture taken with the famous Window Man."
Window Man meets his alter ego on a Safestyle lorryThe Window Man himself found the whole experience enlightening, seeing our Safestyle windows and doors being made right before his eyes. "We have very impressive facilities, and it makes you very, very proud, to see every worker so very focused," said Jeff, "I think everyone who works at Safestyle should visit there!"
Jeff's visit seems to have made a dramatic impact, both on him and the team at the factory. "The big thing for me was it makes you feel part of the team," said Jeff, "When I left there that day, I felt such a great pride and responsibility in representing our people, to help keep their livelihoods secure, by letting everyone know on TV, and in my travels, about how great our energy saving glazing products really are!"
Jeff was impressed with his reception, "Thanks for the hospitality (the buffet and my egg butty was great), everyone was such a great laugh, they made me feel so welcome and it's so heartening to know we have a huge team of tremendously nice, hard-working people, producing the very best double glazing windows and doors in the land!"

Safestyle bucking the trend
The double glazing industry still appears in the grips of recession, but Safestyle windows are bucking the trend. We've also enjoyed a solid June performance, our replacement window business flourishing thanks to the efforts of our Sales and Canvass teams who have shown hard work and commitment - nice one! With July we see the start of some exciting new competitions to run alongside the ones we already have.
For our Marketing Canvassers, the "Rookie Club" & "Canvass Club" have been completely revamped and updated. The all-new and exciting Clubs are now in effect with lots of great new prizes to be won. They are so impressive and the initial reaction is that they've never been so good. Targets have been set, to be achieved and rewarded with fantastic prizes!
The "July Jungle Madness" is also on! This is a new Safestyle competition where all our branches have been placed into 10 groups of 3 and the way it works is simple: top your group (based on written business) and choose your prize - either a fun-packed day go-karting, or an action-packed day paint-balling with Jeff "The Window Man" Brown! So the message is work hard together, achieve your potential and enjoy your prize with your team!
Another major incentive development is the "Safestyle UK Reward Scheme" which has already started and the way it works is that our regional, branch and team managers all have targets set which, if they achieve the criteria, gives 50 Reward Points each time. They can then collect their points and exchange them for prizes, choosing to claim a small prize or save up and accumulate more points until they have enough to exchange them for one of the amazing top mega-prizes! To accompany this, the new Safestyle Reward Scheme glossy brochure is going out to all our branches.
With so much being invested in Safestyle's future, it's never been more rewarding to work hard and reach the potential we all have within ourselves. If you aren't already part of the Safestyle team, why not join us today? You can apply online, it's quick and easy!

Safestyle jobs and recruitment on the up
Jobs and opportunities at Safestyle UKSafestyle is looking to expand our manpower in various areas, including Sales, Canvass and Installations. If you're looking for a job, or want a change to where the grass is greener, then Safestyle is the place to be. We're going from strength to strength, and our performance this year - especially considering the economic climate - has been impressive, so it's a great time to come and join our team.
While there have been encouraging signs that the recession is possibly easing up, including increases in UK industry output, house prices on the up, as well as ever-improving supermarket growth, this is tempered with expected job losses in the public sector, and rising overall UK unemployment. The knock-on effect has been quite hard in particular on sectors like the car sales industry, with May sales down nearly 25% compared to last year, despite 60,000 orders under the scrappage subsidy scheme.
Double glazing sales, though - at least at Safestyle - have been on the up and more new people are coming on board to work with us, knowing they have the backing of multi-million pound advertising campaigns, with new and exciting products coming from continuous development in technology.
Fitters, Salespeople and Canvassers have been joining the Safestyle team as new incentives, prizes and bonuses are being introduced to reward good performances. We are getting a fantastic response and encouraging more newcomers on board, you can even apply online. Now really is the time to get in touch with Safestyle and see what you could be earning with the nation's leading energy saving glazing company.
