Window manufacturer playing it safe with sales set to reach £83.5m

SAFESTYLE UK, the Bradford-based window manufacturer, has reported a steady half year, with order intake on the up.

The company said that a 19.7% increase in order intake was expected to deliver half year revenues (to 30 June 2016) of £83.5m.

This would be an increase on the same period last year of 12.8%.

Safestyle UK chief executive Steve Birmingham, said: “We are very pleased with our performance in the first half of this year. Whilst the longer term impact of the referendum decision on the broader economy remains to be seen, there has been no short term detrimental effect on our order intake.

“The Company has a proven successful model, with a growth strategy underpinned by a combination of our expanded product range, attractive promotional finance package, continued geographic expansion and financial strength.”

Last year the business made £17.6m in pre-tax profits on revenues of £148.9m. It also announced earlier this year that it would be making a major investment in its Wombwell factory, increasing manufacturing space by more than 60,000 sq ft.
