Mercury rising

Mercury Glazing has reported year-on-year growth of 18%, with the company achieving its highest ever monthly sales figure in September.

Steve Cross, Mercury’s director, said: “We are delighted to be reporting such strong sales growth especially against the backdrop of so much market uncertainty. The economic situation is undoubtedly choppy, so this is no time for complacency, but it’s important to observe these figures.”

According to Steve, the company’s success is down to three clear factors: a strong portfolio of specialist products across PVC-U and aluminium – including the Spectus PVC-U vertical slider system and a range of aluminium products from Cortizo and Smart aluminium – strict manufacturing protocols and investment in plant and people.

Steve commented: “We have a 20-year track record for manufacturing high-end specialist products. They are typically installed in the high value commercial and residential projects that are less affected by economic turbulence. And history shows that ‘heritage’ and high-end products tend to be protected during economic downturns.

“High end products mean you need to be laser-focused when it comes to product quality. There’s no room to cut corners and we never forget this. When you buy from Mercury you’re buying the reassurance of attention to detail you can rely on.”

Steve continued: “Technology is advancing the whole time and we keep our finger on the pulse to ensure we are using the best machines that deliver the best in quality. When you add in the expertise and experience of our staff, it’s a winning proposition.”

Mercury Glazing is in the middle of a four-year plan for growth.
