Record £4million
26th November 2019

Retail installation business ERG Scotland Ltd has passed £4m annual sales for the first time, marking the end of its first year as part of the Conservatory Outlet Network.

The 40-year-old Invergordon-based business, headed up by husband and wife Ian and Greer Joy, has been through a year of re-structuring and repositioning following a challenging 2018. Directors made the decision to join Conservatory Outlet’s network of independent retailers at the end of that year and have now seen sales grow from just over £3million to over £4million – with several weeks of the year still remaining.

Ian Joy explained: “We couldn’t be prouder of our team this year.  Following some tough internal decisions and big operational changes, we set an incredibly ambitious target for 2019 which really raises the bar for our business, and I’m delighted to say they’ve absolutely smashed it. 

“The success we’ve achieved this year is testament to the hard work, tenacity and dedication of our fabulous team, together with the excellent operational support, advice and marketing expertise from the team at Conservatory Outlet. Next stop £5m!”

Michael Giscombe, Managing Director at Conservatory Outlet, added: “We’ve been hugely impressed with how the team has embraced new ways of working, seeking peer-to-peer support from their fellow network members and from our in-house support team to break through the £4m sales barrier with seven weeks still to go!  They really are a shining example of a fantastic retail business.”
