Business Micros gains 40% in first half
21st April 2015

Business Micros is reporting half year sales figures up 40% on the same period last year.  This comes just three months after the company reported its highest quarterly sales figures since 2004.

The company now has almost 1,200 PVC-U manufacturers using its software, accounting for nearly three out of every four in the UK.

Managing Director Graeme Bailey said: “Our success obviously reflects the fact that the industry is enjoying something of a boom at the moment after so long struggling with the recession. I recognise that Business Micros only does well when the market is doing well and that’s certainly the case currently.

He noted that the vast majority of its sales are from existing customers looking to invest in more advanced software solutions which will give them the platform they need to expand, adding: “Our customers really do seem to be the businesses which are going places – we’re seeing major investments in our EvoNet business management software and in machine links as they add to their manufacturing capacity. In recent months, big name manufactures including Lancashire Trade Frames, Sterling, Sliders UK and Everglade have added EvoNet to their software setups and both Lancashire Trade Frames and Rapid PVC-U have installed machine links for new machines.

He concluded: “There is no sign of the boom in sales tailing off so we’re continuing to invest in employing and training the installation engineers and support technicians we need to maintain our service levels.

“We recruited two new technicians and a new support assistant recently and we restructured our 29 strong technical, sales support and installation team into a single Technical Resource which has enabled us to become smarter and more responsive to customers.
