Polyframe Secure A Shareholding In Britannic Glass Hailsham

Halifax based Polyframe, the UK's leading manufacturer of windows, doors and conservatories, are pleased to announce that they have taken a shareholding in trade supplier Britannic Glass of Hailsham, East Sussex and that additionally, Britannic Glass will now use the distinctive Polyframe brand and trade as Polyframe.

This new joint venture will have significant advantages for new and existing Britannic customers, with the company being able to offer the complete Polyframe range and benefit from the planned investment that is fundamental to the future growth of the business. All the services currently offered by Polyframe will be available from Polyframe in Hailsham, such as the Clearly Greener Recycling scheme which saves installers money on skip costs and stops post consumer PVCu frames being deposited in land fill sites.
