How to Build a Successful Installation Business

Sandringham Windows Norfolk

Charlie is a Director at Sandringham Windows Norfolk. His focus has been on expanding the product range into flush casement and aluminium as customer demand has shifted, and on getting the right systems in place to manage that complexity. His standout advice is about supplier relationships: a ten year guarantee means you need a supplier who will back you for ten years, not just deliver the cheapest product today.

Growth

  • Expand the product range 
  • Don’t keep selling the same products for 20 years
  • Right systems in place

Visibility

  • Be present. Come in early, see the guys
  • Stay close enough to know what’s really happening
  • Be involved as much as you can

Cash Flow & Margins

  • External factors are the biggest challenge
  • Costs have risen. You do more to achieve the same
  • Control the controllables

Expert Tip

  • Suppliers. You win or lose on your suppliers
  • Not just product quality. The whole package
  • Ten year guarantee means you need ten year support

Technology

  • Paper order forms became a nightmare as product range grew
  • Now every change is logged. Customer can’t claim misunderstanding
  • You get out what you put in
