Truedor will be exhibiting at the FIT Show supported by TV personality George Clarke who will be on the stand on the first day to help promote the brand. The new partner programme is designed to help companies sell more composite doors. Richard Kirman, Truedor Sales and Marketing Manager, explains: “As with our doors, everything is made to measure – one size absolutely does not fit all and we are keen to work the same way with each and every one of our customers, treating them all as individual businesses. “The Truedor Partner Programme is designed to enable every single one of our installer partners to access a full range of marketing support and collateral that is tailored to meet their specific requirements. What we can offer a customer with a large showroom wouldn’t be beneficial to a smaller, one-person business, and vice versa. That’s why we have taken the route we have in terms of our offering for the Partner Programme, as it enables us to meet the needs of all our customers, large or small. “We have a really exciting stand for this year; visitors will be able to see exactly what we can offer them in terms of support and it gives us a great opportunity to work with customer groups at all levels of the industry. Come and see us at stand 268 in hall 2 to find out more, or visit www.truedor.co.uk . ” Truedor welcomes visitors to their stand 268 at the FIT Show for coffee and cake.. and a chance to win money off your next order. For more than 30 years, IG Doors, the company behind Truedor, has been hand-crafting the finest quality composite doors using tried and trusted techniques that are passed on by experienced, skilled professionals.
