Record sales at manufacturer despite market contraction
A Wakefield-based manufacturer of windows, doors and living space products has seen its network of premium retailers achieve 24% year-on-year growth over the past 12 months.
Together, the Conservatory Outlet Network recorded over £100m worth of sales, with multiple retailers delivering record-breaking monthly sales and 13 members surpassing previous annual highs.
The manufacturer has enjoyed similar growth, posting £35m in sales and producing more than 100,000 frames to keep up with demand.
Greg Kane, CEO, said: “It’s undeniable that the market as a whole has contracted last year and experienced many pressures – a lot of them out of our control.
“Despite this volatile picture, 2024 was a year filled with records for our network of retailers, with our exclusive partners achieving phenomenal annual growth of 24%.
“Four installers have achieved between 25-30% growth, whilst another three have recorded between 30-50% sales increases. One has even managed to double orders.”
A significant proportion of this success has been attributed to Conservatory Outlet’s marketing support.
Kane added: “It’s fantastic to see our premium retailers defy market conditions and post over £100m in sales.
“We’ve seen year-on-year growth across all corners of the UK, which bodes extremely well for 2025.
“The Conservatory Network model allows best practice and ideas to be shared across our retailers. As the saying goes, a rising tide raises all ships. We’re seeing that in full effect.”
