VEKA Partner Day Celebrates Strong Fabricator Ties

VEKA recently welcomed its fabricator partners for its annual Partner Day. Set against the backdrop of Burnley’s Crow Wood Hotel, the day was said to be filled with collaboration, celebration and entertainment.

Following the success of last year’s event that saw the introduction of the OMNIA suite, this year’s gathering once again brought partners together in five-star surroundings situated in the heart of Lancashire to reflect on a year marked by successful product launches and industry challenges.

The event sparked valuable dialogue between VEKA and leading fabricators, reinforcing their ongoing partnership and shared commitment to innovation.

The day opened with Neil Evans, Managing Director at VEKA, who delivered realistic but encouraging words confirming that as an industry, pulling together, supporting each other and driving the right change will create opportunity.

Josef Beckhoff, VEKA Group’s Sales and Marketing Director flew in from Germany to offer a global perspective on how VEKA’s innovations are resonating across markets. UK board members followed, sharing product performance, forecasts and technical developments that underlined VEKA’s place at the forefront of fenestration and the strength of interaction with industry partners.

Economist, Professor Joe Nellis, offered a sharp look at the economic landscape ahead, prompting thoughtful conversations about where opportunity lies in a changing world.

After a networking lunch, the room transformed into an immersive walk-through experience, showcasing VEKA’s latest innovations including a live demonstration of the Natural Smoke and Heat Exhaust Vents (NSHEVs). Every station was interactive, every concept tangible, providing partners with the opportunity to explore and give valuable feedback.

In one corner, a ‘VEKA Difference’ area played video and audio case studies, real stories from real installers, sharing how VEKA’s systems help them win business, delight customers and deliver confidently. 

Throughout the day, VEKA Partners engaged in meaningful conversations with VEKA’s product experts who were prepared to dive into technical queries and discuss future concepts.

As evening approached, guests retired to prepare for an evening of dining, networking and celebration. VEKA also arranged a dose of inspiration courtesy of keynote speaker Sir Clive Woodward, whose insights into leadership and teamwork were welcomed by rapturous applause and nods of agreement throughout the room of business leaders.

As Neil summed it up: “You are the beating heart of our company, and we all succeed together. Events like this are vital to our collaboration and understanding of each other.”

Jessica Cooper, Marketing Director, echoed the sentiment: “It’s always a fantastic occasion when we get the opportunity to be in the same room as VEKA partners. The discussions, feedback and conversations we can have together are invaluable.”
