Sash Windows Save The Day

Network VEKA installer Sash Windows has been hailed as a local hero after rescuing a homeowner’s 80th birthday plans.

Pamela Marshall thought she would have to cancel the celebration when another local company left her with an unfinished conservatory at her Huddersfield home, especially when local press and TV reported on other homeowners let down by the same company.

Sash Windows stepped in and not only completed the conservatory but also enlisted three other local companies to install a heater, a carpet and trim – all free of charge.

Mrs Marshall was able to have her special celebration with guests including her four daughters, including Fiona who had travelled from her home in Toronto with 11-year-old great granddaughter Leyah. They also enjoyed an extra birthday present – a magnum of Champagne presented by Sash Windows’ Jason Dickinson and Kim Howe.

"It was so upsetting to think the conservatory wouldn’t be finished in time for today," Mrs Marshall said at her party, "but Sash Windows really saved the day."

There was an unexpected bonus for Sash Windows too, as Jason explained: "We hadn’t expected to get anything back from it but after the local paper picked up on the story, we took two orders, worth £30,000, directly attributable to it."
