Despite a challenging year for the built environment sector, the supplier of aluminium guttering, rainwater drainage and eaves solutions, Marley Alutec has adapted to new working realities, as it continues to deliver for its customers’ needs.
Whilst the current crisis has greatly affected global and domestic supply chains, Marley Alutec has been able to maintain consistently short lead times across many of its most popular products.
With the company’s proficient production capabilities and exceptional stock management, it has been able to continue offering a two-day delivery lead time on several industry-leading gutters and downpipes product ranges, in Heritage Black and Anthracite Grey, as well as all its Elite roof outlets.
Similarly, the company is still able to offer its renowned technical and sales project support across all purchases, providing advice and guidance to those in the trade at all stages of a build; from planning to installation. This has only been made possible through Marley Alutec’s ability to retain pre-pandemic staffing levels.
During lockdown, the company went to great efforts to ensure that its work adhered to strict social distancing measures, with many members of staff working remotely. In doing so, the supplier has once again demonstrated its credentials as a reliable and strong trade partner.
Additionally, the company is recruiting new staff members in preparation for a busy 2021. This effort has been always supported by the company’s parent partner; Aliaxis, a global leader in manufacturing and distributing advanced plastic piping systems.
Nick Glover, head of sales and marketing at Marley Alutec, said: “We are really proud of what we have achieved in 2020. This has been a crisis without precedent, but our pre-pandemic commitment to investing in strong internal production capabilities and highly qualified staff members has put us in good stead to tackle the problem head-on.
“As a result, we are able to offer the highest level of support to our customers and move into the new year positively and confidently.”
Marley Alutec is looking towards the future with several additional product innovations set to be announced in early 2021. Also, the company has recently launched its first virtual RIBA accredited CPD program, which was well-received within the sector.
