Deceuninck UK has reported year-to-date sales up 17% on the same period last year, compared with the overall market which is estimated to be down by nearly 10%, the company said.

The last three months are 40% up on the same time in 2017.

Managing director Rob McGlennon said: “Deceuninck is bucking the market trend and we’re on track for a record-breaking year. We have a simple recipe – providing innovative products to give customers a competitive advantage so they grow faster – and it’s working.

“Our market-leading colour range and heritage flush sash have helped fuel this growth. We sell around 55% colour and it’s the same for our biggest customers.”
