A leading UK manufacturer of windows, doors and living space products saw its network of premium retailers achieve a record 24% year-on-year growth in 2024. Together, the
Conservatory Outlet’s network notched up well over £100 million in sales, leading to multiple retailers delivering their highest-ever monthly sales and 13 members surpassing previous annual highs. The Wakefield-based manufacturer itself has enjoyed similar growth, posting £35 million in sales and producing more than 100,000 frames to keep up with demand.
Greg Kane, Conservatory Outlet’s CEO, said: “It is undeniable that the market as a whole contracted last year and experienced many pressures — a lot of them outside of its control. Despite the volatile landscape, 2024 was a year filled with records for our network of retailers, with our exclusive partners achieving phenomenal annual growth of 24%.”
He continued, “Four installers have achieved between 25-30% growth, while another three have recorded between 30-50% sales increases— one has even managed to double its orders.”
Widespread successA significant proportion of this widespread success has been attributed to Conservatory Outlet’s effective marketing support, which continues to deliver highly qualified leads and innovative new digital and offline campaigns to its premium retailers.
Alongside this, members benefit from being able to exclusively sell and promote the manufacturer’s leading window and door collections, which includes the popular Forté composite door range and advancements to its signature Envisage collection of uPVC flush casement windows. Meanwhile, the company’s Sales Academy has provided a popular, industry-specific training programme that ensures professionals across the UK receive continuous development throughout their careers.
Mr Kane added: “It is fantastic to see our premium retailers defy market conditions and post over £100 million in sales. This proves that if you work smart, have the right product, the right pitch and the right level of support, then anything is possible.
“We have seen year-on-year growth across all corners of the UK, which bodes extremely well for 2025. Furthermore, 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 are seeing that in full effect.”
