Trade Counter of the Year: Glassolutions
17th December 2019

GLASSOLUTIONS has been awarded the ‘Trade Counter of the Year’ trophy at the G19 awards for its Aberdeen outlet.

Relocated in May 2018 from its previous location, the 8,000sq ft site on Girdleness Road was the subject of £80,000 investment, including an interactive showroom, online ordering and staff training.

The company says at a time when many glass suppliers are downsizing their physical presence in favour of operating solely online, itchose to recognise that many of its customers valued being able to pop into one of its local branches, access face-to-face technical advice and build a relationship with their local team.

Distribution director Lisa Dunn said: “Winning this award is a fantastic recognition of everything the Aberdeen branch has achieved since it opened in May 2018. Footfall at the site rose by 100% in the first 15 months of business, which in turn translated into a 30% increase in sales as well as a double digit increase in material margins.”

Glassolutions has previously won a number of the G-Awards. In 2017 it took home the Customer Care award, in 2016 it won Commercial Project of the Year, in 2014 it was awarded Environmental Initiative of the Year and it was crowned Glass Company of the Year in 2012.
