SupaLite unveils innovative new training centre
SupaLite are always dedicated to supporting their trade partners, and their latest investment is no exception. They’re proud to announce the launch of their brand new SupaLite Training Centre, located in the heart of Preston.
Situated next to the S1 and S2 roof manufacturing facility, the new training centre features a showroom, alongside a classroom for sales and surveyor training, and a demonstration area which will allow installers, old and new, to assemble a range of SupaLite products.
Designed to enhance your skills and expertise, SupaLite’s training centre provides hands-on, comprehensive training on the latest SupaLite products and installation techniques, giving installers the opportunity to build and break down a SupaLite roof.
SupaLite says it is committed to sharing the essential skills and knowledge needed to deliver the highest quality installations for every project. It adds that this initiative goes beyond teaching installations; it’s about enhancing professionalism, ensuring product knowledge, and maintaining trust within a community that values expertise and quality.
A hub of learning and innovation
According to SupaLite, its new training facility is more than just a room – it’s ‘a dynamic learning environment tailored specifically to meet the needs of their trade customers’.
Installers attending the training centre can expect to learn about the full SupaLite product range, including the SupaLite roof, SkyEdge rooflight, ILite flat roof orangery system, S1 lantern and S2 glass conservatory roof, along with building regulation requirements and a course designed to highlight the dangers of the clad over roof market.
Installers who complete the SupaLite training earn a certification that showcases their expertise and commitment to SupaLite’s high-quality standards. According to SupaLite, the certification is a valuable asset to both the individual and their employer, enhancing the installer’s credibility and helping them to stand out in a competitive market.
It’s also a great opportunity for installers to ask questions and gain as much information as they can regarding SupaLite products. SupaLite’s technical experts are on hand to answer any questions and provide in-depth roof builds and says that the training centre guarantees that installers have access to the best tools, techniques, and support in the business.
Dedicated sales programmes
SupaLite is said to be working hard behind the scenes to offer a dedicated training programme for salespeople.
These sales programmes are aimed at improving sales conversion rates of salespeople by providing a detailed insight into how best to promote the features and benefits of the SupaLite products.
Salespeople can be very focused on selling the merits of the SupaLite product, but SupaLite says that it wants to extend their knowledge by providing more detailed information on building regulations through to upselling.
Tiered installer schemes
SupaLite offers two installer schemes designed ensure trade partners install SupaLite products to the highest standards, with continued support from their expert in-house team.
SupaLite Premium Installers receive a host of benefits, including branded workwear, free of charge lead generation, feature on SupaLite’s website as a Premium Installer, and benefit from free event invites, premium awards, loyalty points, and so much more. This scheme is available to all customers via an application process.
SupaLite Plus Installers receive showroom support, a certificate and ID cards, use of SupaLite marketing material, and more.
SupaLite says it is committed to strengthening its installer relationships, particularly with Premium and Plus installers, by enhancing these schemes.
Strengthening Partnerships
Steve Hacking, managing director at SupaLite, commented: “Our training centre has been built with the vision of providing our customers with everything they need to succeed with our products. Attending one of our training sessions means you’re not just learning new skills – you’re becoming part of a trusted community of roofing experts who benefit from ongoing support and innovation.
“We’re committed to fostering your success and building lasting partnerships that ensure every project you undertake achieves outstanding results. With our dedicated team providing ongoing support, you’ll have access to the resources and guidance needed to stay ahead in a competitive market.”
Attendees will leave with exclusive access to valuable resources, including product manuals, installation guides, and ongoing technical support.
A Vision for the future
According to SupaLite, the training centre comes at a crucial time for the home improvement industry and highlights research that points to ‘huge growth’ in the market in 2025, with a third of UK homeowners prioritising home improvements over making plans to move.
Now is the perfect time for installers to plan ahead and prepare for the increase in demand, says SupaLite, adding that ‘13% of homeowners want to increase energy efficiency, whilst 16% want to increase the value of their property’.
With growing consumer demand for energy-efficient, durable, and visually appealing home solutions, continues SupaLite, ‘the pressure on installers to deliver excellence has never been greater’.
Wes Clarkson, sales director at SupaLite, stated: “Investing in our new training facility is a testament to our commitment to excellence and quality. We’re dedicated to empowering our installers with the skills and knowledge they need to deliver the best service possible. This facility isn’t just about training – it’s about raising the standard across the entire industry.
