Veka recently welcomed its fabricator partners for its annual partner day, which was held at Burnley’s Crow Wood Hotel.

Following the success of last year’s event that saw the introduction of the Omnia suite, this year’s gathering once again brought partners together to reflect on a year marked by successful product launches and industry challenges.

The day opened with a welcome from Neil Evans, managing director at Veka, who delivered ‘realistic but encouraging words’ confirming that as an industry, pulling together, supporting each other and driving the right change will create opportunity.

Josef Beckhoff, Veka Group’s sales and marketing director flew in from Germany to offer a global perspective on how Veka’s innovations are resonating across markets. UK board members followed, sharing product performance, forecasts and technical developments.

World-renowned economist, Professor Joe Nellis, offered a sharp look at the economic landscape ahead, prompting conversations about where opportunity lies in a changing world.

After a networking lunch, the room transformed into an immersive walk-through experience, showcasing Veka’s latest innovations including a live demonstration of the Natural Smoke and Heat Exhaust Vents (NSHEVs).

A ‘Veka Difference’ area played video and audio case studies, real stories from real installers, sharing how Veka’s systems help them win business, delight customers and deliver confidently.

Throughout the day, Veka partners were also able to talk to Veka’s product experts who were prepared to dive into technical queries and discuss future concepts.

In the evening, guests enjoyed an evening of dining, networking and celebration, including keynote speaker Sir Clive Woodward, who provided insights into leadership and teamwork.

Managing director, Neil Evans, commented: “You are the beating heart of our company, and we all succeed together. Events like this are vital to our collaboration and understanding of each other.”

Jessica Cooper, marketing director, said: “It’s always a fantastic occasion when we get the opportunity to be in the same room as Veka partners. The discussions, feedback and conversations we can have together are invaluable.”
