A group of JDUK Door Systems’ trade clients were hosted by new supplier Wisniowski recently on a trip to its production facilities in Poland, arranged by JDUK, so that they could experience first-hand why JDUK had chosen to partner with the impressive Polish manufacturer.
Trade clients were accompanied by new field sales staff, Lewis Blake and Zoe Clavin, along with newly appointed Sales and Marketing Director, Jason Wade, and Operations Manager, Rob Shaw, both of whom have previously visited Wisniowski and been impressed by its professionalism and magnitude.
After a positive response to the launch of its new supplier in July, JDUK has been working closely with its trade clients to ensure they have all the information and support they need to make a smooth transition to the new portfolio of products.
Great Feedback
Charlie from Dean Garage Doors, who attended with his dad and business partner Vince, commented, “We were completely blown away by the Wisniowski Headquarters on our recent trip to Poland with JDUK. The main offices could be a filming location for James Bond and the factory is seemingly endless. We’re excited to see their comprehensive product range begin to appear on more UK homes soon.”
The trip was also a fitting way for Zoe Clavin to begin her new role in field sales as Area Sales Manager for the North. She said, “I found the trip to the Wisniowski factory very insightful. It was a great learning experience and watching the robots at work was mesmerising. I can’t wait to go again as I’m sure each visit will teach something new.
“Our trade clients said they found the trip worthwhile. It instilled even more confidence in them after seeing the attention to detail given to design and production and amount of quality control put into the manufacture of these great products.”
Big Announcement
Last year, JDUK Door Systems made the big announcement that it would be supplying a wide range of garage and entrance door products from WISNIOWSKI. These products had not previously been available in the UK and quickly took the industry by storm for their quality, wide range of options and competitive pricing.
After an exciting build up that became the talk of the industry, fuelled by a series of YouTube teaser videos, interest in JDUK’s big news reached boiling point in July last year, and not just because of the record-breaking heatwave! In spite of it, over 50 installers turned out to the first in a series of six open days. The eagerly awaited open days were held at JDUK’s updated showroom in West Yorkshire to an overwhelming response, which saw the garage door supplier add 3 extra dates to satisfy demand. For the first 3, over 150 captivated installers attended, keen to find out how JDUK’s new sectional garage door would match up to those previously supplied. And they were not disappointed.
JDUK Door Systems’ MD, Steve Hudson, assured customers the new products would be as good, if not better, than anything currently on offer in the UK market. And that was certainly proven to be the case with Unipro sectional garage door from Wisniowski, which offers side springs on doors even wider than before up to 5000mm, requires less headroom of just 80mm including the tolerance required for automation, and has a better U-value of just 0.48 W/m2K.
New Products Revealed
After an introduction by Steve, where he revealed new supplier Wisniowski, the curtain was finally lifted, quite literally thanks to Adrian from AR Barber, on the new sectional garage door and other new products. Attendees were able to see them first hand and were quick to appreciate their beauty and benefits. Jeff Darlington from DGD Garage Doors commented, “We were impressed with it. In our opinion it is a far superior door than most others on the market and means we can still carry on with JDUK as we have for the past 7 years.”
Special features of the Unipro sectional that delighted installers included a unique header/fascia, which has been designed specifically for the UK, to provide rigidity and strength for in-between and under installation. They were also impressed by the colour matched profiles and matching foiled profiles provided as standard. The exclusive Home Inclusive colour range of other matching products, such as aluminium entrance doors, also captured imagination.
The new range of aluminium entrance doors from JDUK, produced by Wisniowski, were another highlight of the open day events and impressed installers with their stunning appearance. On display was a luxury Creo entrance door in a special modern black matt finish, with 3-point Autotronic locking and a Deco Light entrance door in a Modern graphite finish from the Home Inclusive range, also with 3-point Autotronic locking.
Of particular interest though were the new range of insulated side-hinged garage doors from Wisniowski that JDUK have introduced to the UK market. There were 3 such doors displayed in the showroom, two DoorPro 45, one in anthracite grey and one in the increasingly popular Agate grey, and a DoorPro 60 in anthracite grey, where the number refers to the size of the profile.
