Door Industry Journal - Summer 2021

Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 94 THE door industry journal summer 2021 Automated Gates & Barriers Things are changing within HorizAL UK – the partnership between Stockport- based Alucorb and French firm HorizAL – and Darren Weatherill, Operations Director at Alucorb Ltd, is excited: “Interest, sales and reputation are all soaring,” he explains. “It’s been a few years now since we secured exclusive rights with HorizAL, a world-renowned European manufacturer, to supply and distribute their outstanding range of aluminium gates throughout the UK, and now business has never been better. “The quality of the HorizAL product is exceptional,” he explains. “Why? Well for starters every HorizAL gate is properly engineered, rather than ‘screwed & glued’ like cheaper alternatives then rigorously factory-tested at the production facility in Lyon before being CE marked and shipped to us.” “Following our own quality control process, we organise dedicated transport to make sure everything arrives perfectly to site on a timed delivery. After that, there is full post-sales support from our side, so the installer is never left with any unanswered questions or unsolved problems.” “None of our competition can get close to this level of service and product quality. which is why we’re doing so well. In short, good gates are good for business. The same goes for our installers - become part of the HorizAL UK installer network and word is going to get around and your business will grow thanks to glowing reviews. Fit an inferior quality aluminium gate and word will also get around, but for all the wrong reasons!” Thanks to the success of the concept and the popularity of the product, a major expansion has been inevitable, so Alucorb has recently acquired more warehouse and office space, which will also incorporate a much bigger showroom. This expansion means the company is also looking for a new National Sales Manager with experience from within the gate industry, as well as additional staff.
