Howells Patent Glazing is the latest company to join the ranks of NARM, taking the association’s membership to seventeen active, quality-focussed businesses and further increasing its influence as the united voice of the UK’s rooflight industry.
Based in Cradley Heath, Birmingham, Howells Patent Glazing is a major UK glazing supplier and installer, serving businesses and homeowners over the past 45 years.
The company’s decision to apply for membership came following a visit by Howells Contracts Manager Director Dave Bennett, to the recent Annual General Meeting. He said: “We’ve been aware of NARM’s and support for the industry for some time and I was happy to accept their invitation to attend the recent meeting as a guest. Our subsequent decision to apply for membership was taken at a recent board meeting. We’re delighted to have met the membership criteria and look forward to engaging with the Association’s activities in supporting best practice in the industry as a whole”.
Howells’ expertise and product portfolio complements NARM’s membership profile which includes manufacturers and suppliers of flat glass rooflights, aluminium pitched rooflights, glazed canopies and patent glazing systems.
