The renowned conservatory company has commissioned sales guru Paul Clifton to run and deliver a series of comprehensive masterclasses to almost 100 salesmen over a six month period.

Held at three separate locations, Clearview Home Improvements in Warrington, Synseal in Mansfield and Hazlemere Windows in High Wycombe, the sessions aim to help salesman further increase their conversion rates and leave them feeling more skilled and motivated.

Paul Clifton was specifically chosen by the double glazing specialists as he is a renowned retail sales trainer and has worked extensively within the conservatories industry himself to great success. He has even written and published a book on the art of sales techniques.

The training is specifically tailored for retail organisations and will help each of the 19 Conservatory Outlet dealers to capitalise upon what they each achieved in 2011, with many dealers already experiencing a record level of sales and leads over the past 12 months.

Installers who have joined the Conservatory Outlet network in recent years have, on average, experienced a 25% increase in sales in the first year – followed by consistent year upon year growth.

Conservatory Outlet is currently looking recruit installers with the relevant credentials required to become a network member in the North East, Central Midlands and Central Belt of Scotland.

Anyone interested should contact Conservatory Outlet on Freephone 0808 149 9674.

Anyone who buys conservatories should expect their chosen installer to position it in a place where it will benefit from the most amount of natural sunlight. Not only that, but it should also be put in close proximity to the back garden, so that you feel as if you could almost reach out and touch it.

You should get a full view of your back garden so that you can sit and admire it rain, wind or shine. A conservatory will also come with double glazing ready-installed so that you don’t need to panic about it becoming too cold during the winter months. Even in the summer your windows will do their best to make sure that it doesn’t feel overly hot, reflecting away any excess heat.

It is entirely up to you how you utilise a conservatory as there are many different possibilities. Some will look to transform it into a separate dining room, while others may prefer to use it as a base from which they can work away from the office. Whatever you decide to do, make sure that it is entirely beneficial to the whole of the family so that everyone can enjoy it together as it really is a location for all the family.

Want to bring further warmth into the confines of your home? How about buying some replacement windows!

Window Industries is a monthly magazine for double glazing, door and conservatory fabricators and installers and is the longest established magazine for the UK’s fenestration industry.

Each year the publication lists who it feels are the top 30 most influential people in the window, conservatories and door industry and Matthew finished a very respectable 6^th in the list.

The editor of Window Industries had this to say about Matthew and his company:

“Conservatory Outlet is perhaps the most influential fabricator in the UK currently, having set the standard for marketing that many others are now trying to emulate, but so far few if any are showing signs of the success enjoyed by Conservatory Outlet and its customers.

Still everywhere in the market, despite dropping out of GlassTalk, Matthew seems to have a finger in every blog, pie, cause and charity.

With Conservatory Outlet, Matthew Glover has created a hugely successful and unique fabricator business model. The Conservatory Outlet network comprises of a relatively small number of installation companies – 17 at present – but serves approximately 50% of the UK per capita.

The network continues to grow both organically and with the addition of other successful regional installers, attracted by the fabricator’s lead generation and marketing support.

A renowned blogger and one of the founders of GlassTalk Live, Matthew has recently become the vice chairman of the GGF Marketing & Communication Committee, being influential in the decision to redevelop the GGF website.”

Orangeries in the North West are believed by many to be a new and growing type of construction, a kind of beefed up version of the traditional conservatory. But, orangeries have actually been around for years and were previously used more as an area for growing plants and flowers. Like conservatories in the North West, many people have woken up to the usefulness of the orangery and are increasingly having them installed in their homes as a way of extending the size of their property.

They are also made up of less glass than a conservatory, so if you are worried that it will get too hot in the summer, then think again as the double glazing that is put inside an orangery is energy efficient and will keep it cool when necessary. In the unlikely event that it does get too warm, then you could install some blinds onto the windows which will keep out the glare and heat of the sun. If you fancy keeping your feet warm during the winter, heated flooring can be put down.

If you are currently considering buying Carnforth windows, then you are also urged to look into an orangery as there is no finer way of extending your home.

Today local authorities do not require planning permission for installing a conservatory or orangery to your home in the UK. There are certain conditions that do apply, however overall conservatories & orangeries do not need planning permission if you plan that your conservatory or orangery does not cover more than fifty percent of the land that the home occupies.

• You do not intend to build the conservatory or orangery on the same side of the house that fronts a highway. This rule applies to conservatories on the front back and side, you cannot build one on a side of the house that is parallel to a road.
• You cannot build any part of the conservatory or orangery higher than the existing highest point on your roof – this regulation regarding the height of the conservatory can only be important on a bungalow.
• If you are building a conservatory or orangery solely on the rear of the house than it can only extend beyond the outer wall by three meters if the house is attached to another. However if you have a detached house then the conservatory can be four meters.
• Side conservatory or orangeries can be built up to four meters high and a width of no more than half the width of the original house width. Unless of course the side fronts a highway and then you cannot build one at all.
• The roof height can only be to the first storey if you have more than one story.
• The conservatory or orangery must be closed in it cannot have any other extraneous extensions such as a conservatory balcony or a conservatory verandah. Simply put your conservatory can only be one structure with no conservatory extensions.
• Finally designated land cannot have a rear conservatory or orangery of more than one storey. Cladding cannot be used and side conservatories are forbidden. Designated land means areas of natural beauty such as the Norfolk broads, conservation areas, national parks and world heritage sites.
