Nine months is not a long time in business. However, that is exactly how long it took Mark Rowland to set up Lancashire PVC-U Trade Frames and develop the business to the point where it regularly fabricates 600 frames a week. This is a remarkable achievement, even for someone with extensive industry experience like Mark. And the 20 years Mark spent working for, running and setting up successful window fabrication businesses will ensure this is not a flash in the pan. Of course, continued support from HW Plastics, whose HW70 system the company fabricates, also helps.

Mark is already looking to the future and at ways of maintaining the momentum. ‘In the second half of this year we will take on Elite 70, HW Plastics’ ‘state of the art’ window system. We have already indentified extra business the benefits of that system will generate. Our premises were selected with rapid growth in mind so we know we have the space to expand our production. 1000 frames a week is a target we are sure to reach in the foreseeable future.’
