Sternfenster has been shortlisted in three categories for this year’s G-Awards, including Best Business Initiative, Promotional Campaign, and Training and Development Initiative.

“We are celebrating our 50^th year in business this year, and being shortlisted three times at this year’s G-Awards demonstrates that we continue to invest in our people and our infrastructure in ways that ultimately benefit our customers,” said Sternfenster’s MD, Mike Parczuk.

Sternfenster’s ‘end-to-end’ IT journey has put it in the running for Best Business Initiative. According to Sternfenster, it demonstrates the high levels of care, attention and investment the fabricator has put into delivering projects of this nature – projects that it says can deliver ‘a step change’ in terms of improved productivity and customer service.

Part of this journey is the trade fabricator’s EasyAdmin+ system, where customers can place an order online, which will automatically be programmed into Sternfenster’s manufacturing software and ready for production without having to re-enter data or re-confirm details.

“Even at its most basic level, EasyAdmin+ puts our customers in control of their product ordering and supply,” Mike said. “This is alongside other features such as managing the lead process, chasing outstanding quotes, and easily arranging surveys, installations and service calls.”

Central to Sternfenster’s Training Development nomination, is its ‘Pursuit for Platinum’ initiative which builds on the company’s Gold Investors in People standard, which it attained in 2022.

“We are working hard to be one of only 2% of organisations worldwide who attain the Platinum standard,” said Mike. “By following this path, we are seeing huge benefits in the way Sternfenster operates, such as embedding a culture of continuous improvement, happier and healthier colleagues, and better production outcomes.”

As part of its 50-year celebrations, Sternfenster developed a promotional campaign that is said to have made a ‘massive’ impact across multiple platforms, generating greater engagement with new and existing customers, and an increase in leads which have resulted in new accounts.

“Our year-long promotional campaign was 49 years in the making,” said Mike. “And during 2024, we used social media, advertising, the trade press and direct marketing to talk to new and existing customers, while having fun and celebrating our achievements in the process.”
