Over 11,400 conservatory companies... and still rising

The number of companies in most markets ebbs and flows in good and bad times. Few consistently grow year-on-year. But Farida Hammad, Database Director of Windowbase, says that the growth in the number of conservatory companies has remained almost constant in the past few years.

'We have 11,489 companies active in the Conservatory industry in the Windowbase database of Conservatory Installers, fabricators and roof fabricators. The database includes conservatories made from all materials and sold through many different channels of distribution. The conservatory industry has enormous potential and represents a real opportunity to make a difference to the bottom line, if you know who to sell to. The database contains 2,180 businesses involved in roof fabrication, and therefore likely to be interested in glazing products, 4,257 companies involved in fabricating the conservatories, while over 10,300 are installing them for the private home owner, the new build contractor and commercial projects.

'As with all markets, some regions and materials are growing faster than others. So it's important that this data may be accessed on a regional or county basis and by activity or frame materials. The information, when supplied under an updating contract, also leaves users confident that the research is being done to keep their own records updated at regular intervals - in simple terms it means that users can target new companies quicker than their competitors.'

As with all Windowbase databases the data may be accessed for a single mailing shot by means of labels, or with the full information on each company's activities held on computer and paid for by monthly subscription to enable regular marketing activity.
