New Faces Added To Renfrewshire Windows Firm

New faces have joined the team at a Renfrewshire firm as it looks towards expansion.

The sales team and the Modern Apprenticeship Training Scheme are the latest areas of Blairs Windows to swell with new arrivals.

The newly-recruited members of the teams will be based at the firm's 120,000 sq ft manufacturing plant in Greenock.

Allan French of Blairs said the company's continued success was due to its "combination of technology and craftsmanship" and ability to supply "high quality bespoke windows" with a turnaround time of just four weeks.

Mr French said: "Demand for our services has increased dramatically. Therefore we have been increasing our capacity to meet this demand."

A third person has joined the team as Business Development Manager East.

In a statement, a spokesman for Blairs paid tribute to new colleague Alan Bloomfield, saying he had a "wealth of knowledge and sales expertise in timber windows and doors" which "moves Blairs to the next exciting phase in our expansion programme".

Mr French said: "At every stage of the process from quotation through manufacture to installation we have a great deal of experience. By bringing this experience to bear on all projects, our customers gain real added value. Alan is a great addition to our sales team and we at Blairs Windows look forward to our continuous growth & success."
