Those days are now complete, and they have been a great success. Across the space of four days, a large number of customers were welcomed into Ellard, with a day that explored a range of our products, but mainly focused on the newest range, Marantec. When the new Marantec range was launched in January, Ellard wanted to ensure that customers knew exactly what this partnership can provide and what sets the products apart from competitors. This series of Discovery Days accomplished exactly that, each day consisted of an overview of the Marantec range and newest panel the Promax +, as well as in-depth product insight sessions, in which attendees could set up the innovative Promax + and learn the simplicity behind the Plug and Play feature. The day ended with a final presentation focusing on Ellard’s added value, and the steps they take to offer a truly unique customer journey. With bespoke training sessions, as well as a technical team that is always there to support you, and a brand-new marketing support scheme, everyone at Ellard goes out of their way to provide the best customer service in the industry. The team worked non-stop across every department to ensure that everything ran smoothly each day, and Ellard was glad to see that all the hard work paid off. Feedback was received from numerous customers, and all were positive, with one customer stating “It was a great day throughout, thoroughly enjoyed and made me feel very welcome! Thank you!”. There were also numerous requests to do more of these days for those who couldn’t make it, as well as other days that focus on other product groups and there’s even the potential to take the show on the road! Ellard’s management would like to thank everyone who came, and for those who couldn’t make it, to keep an eye out for additional dates soon. www.ellard.co.uk Garador Appoints New Managing Director Britain’s leading garage door manufacturer Garador has started a new era with the appointment of Jon Watson as Managing Director.
