Across the three day event SWR rotated staff to ensure all the members of their spares team could attend the event and put faces to names. The SWR patterned locks proved particularly popular among the thousands of attendees, who flocked to Telford for the record breaking MLA event. “We are very proud of our ongoing affiliation with the MLA and we’re already looking forward to the next show in 2017. It was a great success and an opportunity to really engage and network with our customers face to face. Our company’s commitment to excellent customer service makes events like this fundamental to us achieving our goals,” Steven Lee explained. Festive Wishes With Christmas fast approaching SWR would also like to wish all their loyal and valued customers a very Happy Christmas and prosperous New Year. As always they will be sending out a festive chocolate with all orders in the build up to Christmas, which has now become an SWR tradition. Need Additional Catalogues?

With a wide range of fully functioning products on display, including steel and aluminium shutters, motors and control systems, the space is proving popular both as a showroom and as a training base for installers looking for advice and guidance. A recent training day proved a hit, with fitters from one of Aluroll’s biggest customers receiving expert training on installation, operation and maintenance for shutters across the whole range. Each attendee was also given a folder of datasheets and manuals to take home, for future reference of what they had learnt on the day. Aluroll General Manager Dave Barwick said: “We pride ourselves on the personal service we offer here at Aluroll, and our training days are an extension of that. They’re a great way for us to help out installers and get to meet them face-to-face - often for the first time. We’re able to answer questions and offer support and tips, and we often learn from our customers’ feedback. By working together we’re able to give something back and improve what we do too”. Visitors are encouraged to make the most of Aluroll’s fantastic facilities by visiting the showroom, either independently or as part of a pre-arranged training day. It is based in Oswestry, Shropshire, and therefore easily accessible from across the UK. The showroom is also situated right next door to Aluroll’s aluminium and steel factories, meaning visitors can receive a tour of the manufacturing facilities too.
