Strong start
Deceuninck has made a strong start to 2019, with January sales up 12% year-on-year. This follows 2018 which finished 21% up on the previous year.
Deceuninck attributes this strong momentum to giving customers the right products to sell in the premium sector; sales of colour and the award-winning Heritage Flush Sash have skyrocketed, for example.
Managing director Rob McGlennon, said: “Despite the political chaos and constant reports of economic uncertainty triggered by Brexit negotiations it’s not all doom and gloom. The commercial market is strong, and we are strong in commercial. The Deloitte Real Estate Crane Survey, for example, monitors construction activity in Belfast, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester, as well as Dublin. In 2018 each city saw a sustained or increased level of development across a range of sectors including offices, residential, hotels, retail, education and student housing.”
