Hurst & JFP partnership ‘rooted in quality and innovation’

John Fredericks Plastics, based in Huddersfield, has been in the UK window manufacturing industry for over 53 years.

“We began our partnership with Hurst in the mid-90s, we started out using their door panels, which were very successful,” said Mark Dicconson, managing director of John Fredericks Plastics.

Today, the company focuses on engineered PVC-U doors and relies on Hurst for its high-quality flat infill panels and shiplap panels, available in various colour and woodgrain finishes.

“Hurst Doors has been a fantastic supplier over the years,” Dicconson noted.

“Their pricing, delivery, and overall quality are really impressive. The quality element is massively important to us because our 160 customers throughout the UK demand high-quality products.”

John Fredericks Plastics also benefits from using Hurst Live, a 24/7 online portal that facilitates order placement and account management.

“Hurst Live has streamlined our operations, allowing us to access orders, track deliveries, and view order history at any time. This has significantly improved our efficiency and ensured timely deliveries,” Dicconson added.

Mark Atkinson, sales director at Hurst, commented: “Our commitment to quality and reliable deliveries is unwavering. We have our own transport fleet, and are consistently achieving a 99.9% on-time, in-full delivery rate.

“But it’s not just about logistics; our team of knowledgeable professionals is always focused on delivering quality to our customers.”

Mark Dicconson added: “We’ve got a well-proven business model of supplying top quality installers throughout the UK with top quality innovative products. We will continue with this approach, ensuring that our supply chain, including partners like Hurst, remains consistent and of the highest quality.

“We’re seeing a little bit of a market downturn, but high-end products, such as PVC flushed and engineered doors, as well as coloured products and aluminium, are doing really well. We’ll continue with what we’ve done for the last 53 years.”

Mark Atkinson concluded: “Hurst Live, our exclusive 24/7 online portal, provides full visibility and access to orders including order history and delivery tracking, as well as a wealth of resources to help customers manage their account and market their business.”
