On Saturday 28 October, REHAU was crowned Systems Company of the Year at the National Fenestration Awards, as well as scooping Best Use of Video for partnership film with Uxbridge-based fabricator, Visio, while Area Sales Manager, Hannah Smith also walked away with Young Person of the Year.
Representatives of the company provide their comments:
Martin Hitchin, CEO of REHAU on Systems Provider of the Year:
“2023 marks my 35th year working at REHAU, and what a fantastic set of accolades to add to a milestone year. Our industry is brimming with great talent, evidenced by the plethora of outstanding nominees present at the NFAs this year. The level of quality fenestration businesses are demonstrating right now has never been higher in my opinion. So, to walk away with Systems Company of the Year against some stiff competition is just the icing on the cake. I couldn’t be prouder of this great company and all the people that make it. Congratulations to all the other winners as well.”
Stephen Beresford, Head of Marketing, comments on winning Best Use of Video:
“Without our brilliant fabricators, REHAU Window Solutions would not be the company it is today. There are so many fantastic businesses out there creating first-class windows for beautiful buildings – we think they deserve their stories telling. Visio was one such project where we used the power of video to celebrate the story of a father and son returning to fabrication back in 2022. We’re proud that our Rio Flush Fit window was part of their journey and helped to elevate them from the competition in their local area.” You can watch the full video HERE.
Hannah Smith on winning Young Person of the Year:
“I was really hoping that REHAU would walk away with something on the evening, but I never actually expected to win Young Person of the Year. I’m proud that I can represent women in the industry and thankful to the support REHAU has shown me over the years to help champion a more inclusive approach within the fenestration industry. I am part of an industry-leading team who empower me every day to continue my professional growth and achieve my dreams. I hope I can inspire more young people to consider a career in this dynamic industry.”
