The Window Outlet’s Ben Warren reaches Trailblazer Top 40
Posted on 17/05/2016
There’s more cause for celebration at booming aluminium fabricator The Window Outlet this month, as it’s been announced that company director Ben Warren has reached the final 40 in Business Leader Magazine’s prestigious Trailblazer Awards.
Founded in 2013, Business Leader has quickly risen to become the most credible, influential business publication in the South West of England, distributed to over 30,000 readers across the region. With its inaugural Trailblazer Awards, BLM is seeking out the pioneers, innovators, disruptors and outstanding leaders who, through their hard work and determination, make things happen in business.
Hundreds of initial entrants have been whittled down to just forty, of whom ten will be named BLM Trailblazers, and one will be named Trailblazer of the year.
When 32-year Ben started The Window Outlet, he had a clear but incredibly ambitious vision of what he wanted to achieve: the best and biggest aluminium fabricator in the business, delivering the sort of lead times and quote turnarounds usually only associated with uPVC, and truly exceptional customer service.
In the space of just eighteen months, his Bristol-based start-up became one of the most respected fabricators in the region, with a reach stretching as far east as Oxford. Maintaining its signature commitments to 24-hour quote turnarounds and two-week lead times, The Window Outlet now supplies AlUK and Raeyners aluminium to clients across the South-West of England, and has £2m turnover in its sights.
“It’s obviously an honour to be put through to the final 40,” commented Ben. “BLM is hugely respected among the South-West business community, and, particularly considering the quality of the competition, I’m delighted to be going through to the next stage.”
“All that said, I also want to acknowledge the massive contribution my fantastic staff members have made to The Window Outlet’s success. I started the company, and have worked hard to get it where it is today - but it goes without saying that I couldn’t have achieved any of it without a first-class team backing me up along the way.”
On the 23rd June, Business Leader Magazine will host an exclusive champagne reception in Bristol at which the top ten Trailblazers will be announced. Each will be interviewed and profiled in the July edition of the magazine.
