• Vertical Sliders Stay In The Same Position

Quickslide’s vertical sliders will not be going up in price even though the rest of the industry is buckling under the pressure of supply chains and government-imposed tax increases.

The fabricator of the Legacy VS window is bucking the industry trend by holding firm on its trade pricing. That means £250 for a sash window remains firmly on the table, without any compromise on quality or service or level of marketing support.

This commitment includes the promise not to add any hidden fees or surcharges, remaining open and transparent in all respects.

In the meantime, Quickslide is doubling down on the support it gives to its trade partners, as well as improving its own efficiencies, creating a collaborative effort to work together in overcoming potential pitfalls and potholes in the turbulence of the coming months.

Getting sales over the line

“The only predictable thing about the current trading environment is that it is unpredictable. Understanding this we have worked hard to absorb costs and become as efficient as possible in terms of our own operations,” says sales director Tom Swallow. “The focus has to be on getting sales over the line and the more we can ease the pressure on our trade partners, the better.

“Price increases are a real moot issue in the industry and it is easy to jump in too quickly without taking a more long-term, strategic approach to pricing. While there needs to be a realistic and pragmatic understanding of the impact on an industry wide basis, sometimes you have to go off piste and make decisions for the wider good. We know our trade partner network will appreciate this stance and throw themselves into making the most of it while they can, enabling them to sharpen their competitiveness in a way that is commercially viable for them – and for us – in the long run.”
