title PVCU DIRECT CELBRATE 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Staffordshire - based PVCu Direct was founded by Managing Director Bob Plimmer and this year
is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The company originally began as a domestic window company
but five years ago changed to a trade only supplier. It now has a national customer base and
supplies Rehau 70mm and Spectus Elite 70 frames, doors, conservatories and glass.
In fact, anything the customer needs, PVCu Direct will be happy to provide.

The company prides itself on providing a level
of service which is rarely available to small
companies. Bob Plimmer explains: "when I
first started PVCu Direct many companies
I approached to supply me said I was too
small and wouldn't let me buy from them.

This annoyed me because I believe that every
company deserves support, particularly small
businesses. As everyone knows, small
businesses can grow into large businesses
and as we've grown I have continued, where
possible, to support those companies who
showed faith in me. I apply the same
philosophy to my customers at PVCu Direct."

In building a national supply - only business,
PVCu Direct has challenged the role of the
trade fabricator. Instead of concentrating on
manufacturing, the company has taken the
lead on service. They offer the same low
prices regardless of the size of order and
they undertake to deliver wherever the
customer requires, even on site.

To complement its national supply business, the company has opened a trade counter to supply its
local customers. Branded under 'Window Installers Warehouse', the trade counter has been set up in
partnership with PVCu Direct's frame and roof supplier - Advantage Windows and Conservatories Ltd.
Local builders and installers can come in and buy frames, doors, conservatories and a host of other
top branded products at very competitive prices.

Bob Plimmer and his long serving team of Nick Plimmer, Andy Ankrett, Mike Holmes and Bob Pillinger
have many years of experience in looking after all of their customers. Bob says: "our ten successfu
years are down to a team effort and offering a great level of service to the smaller companies.
I'm looking forward to the next decade and seeing lots of our customers continue to grow."
