As we approach the Easter break, it seems like a good time to take stock, to reflect on the year to date and look forward to some well-earned time off. With Easter falling much later than last year, our first Bank Holidays of 2019 are now in sight and most school children have broken up. Here at David Salisbury, our orangeries and timber windows factory and offices will close at the end of Thursday 18th April and we will re-open first thing on Tuesday 23rd April.

Whilst we have been enjoying a record start to the year in terms of new orders for our award-winning orangeries and oak garden rooms, an important contributor to our sales growth has been orders for our timber windows.

“What's the difference between an orangery and a conservatory,” is one of our most frequently asked questions (FAQs). Throw in the increasing trend for garden rooms, whether in natural oak or painted timber and there is scope for a healthy debate. Well, it’s a different discussion to Brexit at least!

As the industry leader, at the quality end of the market and with our heritage grown over more than 35 years of successful trading, we feel well placed to offer our definition.

Having been shortlisted for the Large Business Award (for companies with more 50 employees) in the Sedgemoor Business Excellence Awards 2019, we attended last night’s Gala dinner with fingers crossed and high hopes. After a record-breaking 2018, it was an appropriate time to enter these awards – as a UK market-leader and innovator, as well as a substantial local employer, the last 12 months have been a time of sustained excellence for David Salisbury Joinery!

Here at David Salisbury, one of the most enjoyable aspects of working on marketing our business is looking at the transformative effect we have on our customers’ homes. Being able to browse through a selection of stunning photography (with each home owners’ permission) is hugely inspiring, whether this be in print or online.
