CRITIC'S CORNER
Profile
22 Watches The Armstrongs - Episode 5
With
three out of four of the U-Fit sales team wiped out in the previous
episode, Othello-obsessed Michael is the last man standing.
To reward him for his loyalty, and the fact he seems to be the
only one actually doing their job in the first place, John and
Ann decide to take Michael and his wife (who he met on an Othello
website) out for a meal.
Can we be watching the same programme as last week? Suddenly,
The Armstrongs have turned over a new leaf. No longer the unapproachable
bosses, John and Ann are using staff rewards as a good way of
letting their star employee know he is part of the (albeit dwindling)
team – this is to be applauded.

Fensterbau
Shows How it's Done
Having
spent some time at Fensterbau, in Nuremberg last week - along
with 100,000 other visitors (hardly any of them British, I might add)
- one can only wonder whether the Brits are just getting fed up with
trade exhibitions, particularly with information available so easily
from other sources, such as the internet, CD based demonstrations, video
conferencing, in-house shows etc etc.
In an interesting response to Lawrence Brakespear's email of
last week, which suggested that Glassex might be on its last legs, Glassex's
marketing manager makes some interesting points. One is the assertion
that Lawrence has no right to criticise a show which he has stopped
going to, whereas I would have thought that the onus of getting visitors
through the door (to justify the not inconsiderable expense of exhibiting)
lies first with the organiser, although of course the exhibitor should
be as proactive as possible in encouraging its own visitors. Perhaps
then, Lawrence was not convinced by his supplier that attending Glassex
was worthwhile.
New
Seminars help Companies Avoid Crisis
The
Window Industry is facing tough times, with more and more fabricators
and installers feeling the pressure of fewer leads, less orders and
cut-throat margins. According to Industry consultant Andrew Scott
companies need to take action now, or face extinction.

While
Lawrence may have missed some of the latest additions to Glassex, he was
clearly not motivated enough by his last few visits to think it was going
to be useful to him to visit ever again, which I wouldn't have thought
was a mindset the organiser would wish to encourage.
The other assertion, that numbers are down because stands have stopped
serving free beer, is also questionable. No-one forks out a small fortune
in train fares, or hotels, in order to consume a lesser value in alcoholic
beverages. It is not about drinking, it is about hospitality, and I can
report that hospitality is still very much alive and well at Fensterbau,
where I have never seen extreme drunkenness in my 21 years of attending
the show.
And what about that well worn PR phrase the 'tyre kicker', or the 'lads'
day out'? Apparently, the UK window industry is better without these kind
of people, and yet in Germany they are welcomed, fed and watered and given
promotional items. Why? Because they are regarded as the future of the
industry, and given the respect that an apprentice deserves. Who knows
which one of a crowd of lads is going to end up running a multi-million
pound company?
Finally, the fact that a large majority of these so called 'tyre kickers' actually pay to attend trade shows in Germany reinforces the different attitude to exhibitions on the continent.
The reason that Fensterbau is 8% up in visitors and 6% up on floor space despite the fact that the German market is still on its knees, is simple. Messe Nuremberg offers a platform which is attractive enough to get all the major players from every sector of the market exhibiting, and this, in turn, makes it worth turning up to see.
