No price rises from Quickslide

Brighouse-based sash window fabricator, Quickslide, has officially announced that it will not be implementing any price rises.

According to Quickslide, that means £250 for a sash window remains firmly on the table, without any compromise on quality or service, or level of marketing support.

This commitment includes the promise not to add any hidden fees or surcharges, remaining open and transparent in all respects.

In the meantime, Quickslide says it is doubling down on the support it gives to its trade partners, as well as improving its own efficiencies, creating a collaborative effort to work together in overcoming ‘potential pitfalls and potholes in the turbulence of the coming months’.

Sales director, Tom Swallow, said: “The only predictable thing about the current trading environment is that it is unpredictable. Understanding this, we have worked hard to absorb costs and become as efficient as possible in terms of our own operations.

“The focus has to be on getting sales over the line, and the more we can ease the pressure on our trade partners, the better!

“Price increases are a real moot issue in the industry, and it is easy to jump in too quickly without taking a more long-term, strategic approach to pricing,” continued Tom.

“While there needs to be a realistic and pragmatic understanding of the impact on an industry wide basis, sometimes you have to go off piste and make decisions for the wider good. We know our trade partner network will appreciate this stance and throw themselves into making the most of it while they can, enabling them to sharpen their competitiveness in a way that is commercially viable for them – and for us – in the long run.”
