Conservatory Outlet opens in Lancashire and Cheshire
Monday, March 3rd, 2008Conservatory Outlet has expanded its dealer network to nine, making it the largest installer of bespoke conservatories in the North of England thanks to the opening of showrooms in Leyland near Preston and Holmes Chapel in Cheshire.
These new showrooms have been opened by Chris Mitchell and Andy Ross, two former managers of My Planet and backed by John Beaty who was involved in the success of the previous trading company Planet in the early years. John’s partner from that period, Dean St John, has no involvement in this new venture whatsoever.
With full agreement from the official administrators, the new company, trading as Lancashire Conservatory Outlet and Cheshire Conservatory Outlet will be assisting in the completion of unfinished installations and returning deposits, where required, taken by the previous company. This new trading agreement has quickly secured jobs for approximately 50 loyal and hard working staff.
The concept of the Conservatory Outlet dealer network has proven hugely successful thanks to the extended levels of marketing support including what is arguably the most comprehensive website within the industry at www.conservatoryoutlet.co.uk and its sister site http://www.conservatorytv.com/. Throughout the dealer network, each showroom has been able to achieve strong growth each year and the prospects for further success look very promising, something which attracted John Beaty to the Conservatory Outlet concept.
John Beaty comments: “The decision to venture back into the industry was a cautious and measured one. I wanted to be in a position to offer the consumer a strong and well-respected brand and the Conservatory Outlet dealer programme and branding will prove to be the perfect vehicle.”
Matthew Glover, managing director of Conservatory Outlet concludes: “This is a fantastic opportunity for all those concerned. John’s decision to venture back into the industry is a welcome one and the fact that he’s chosen our dealership programme shows that we have a very capable and proven business model.
