FROM HELEN DUVAL 2022

The Bigger Picture

Apart from jubilant celebrating, the NFA event itself allows everyone in the industry to immerse themselves into a world of business, where celebrating the success stories of the past year is just the start of all the award brings to not just a company, but to the team within it.

Resilience, innovation, quality, sustainability, diversity, and the chance to celebrate business excellence, are all main cornerstones of the NFA’s, and this has been the case from the start.

Being acknowledged for the achievements reached in a 12 month period, by your peers, boosts morale, reflects on the high standards offered and demonstrates that those in the sector appreciate the efforts that have been made for them. Indeed, by association, this brings a greater recognition to any customer or supplier that works with one of the winners. It brings benefits to their business as they look to grow.

The NFA team’s on-going goal is to create an exceptional community of business leaders who can share their pioneering abilities, which consequently, will raise the bar across the fenestration board, in terms of ethics, professionalism and results.

Lee Clarke, Managing Director of the NFA’s considers that this type of peer-led, industry recognition will help to improve the economy and reinforce the excellence provided by the market-leading NFA winning brands.

Lee comments, “Given the economic turmoil we have all endured over the last 2 to 3 years, we need something positive to boost the sector. The NFA’s help people to push themselves harder as well as for greater recognition and increased profit margins.

With more categories this year than ever before, the NFA’s celebrate all facets of those considered leaders in the sector, whether that is due to successful product launches, strong training ethics, excellent business management, creatively different overviews that get the right message across, or simply a working ethos that helps others… with an NFA accolade, it demonstrates that you have been judged by your business actions, achievements and business principles by those who invest in your company. There can be no higher recognition.”
