A BOLTON window company has scooped a major national award.

Grosvenor Windows Ltd, based in Manchester Road, was voted runner-up in the Fabricator of the Year competition organised by the independent window traders' organisation Network VEKA.

Managing director Peter Mills said: "This is especially an honour for us because Network VEKA members include some of the best window installers in the country. It is also a direct reflection of what our customers really think of the work we do."

Mr John Ogilvie, Network VEKA operations manager, said the awards were calculated from thousands of customer satisfaction questionnaires collated every year as part of the organisation's strict quality control process.

Grosvenor is a founder member of Network VEKA and Peter Mills is also a long-standing member of its national steering group.
