The G10 Awards Presentation & Gala Dinner took place in December at Wembley Stadium, an event that recognizes excellence in what has become an important fixture in the annual calendar for the glass and glazing sector.

The management team from Insight Data attended to support the G10 event and was delighted to discover that 50% of the winners use Insight’s Salestracker database of window, door, and conservatory fabricators and installers.

The Marketing Campaign of the Year (trade) was scooped by long-standing Insight Data customer Edgetech for their Journey to C event that helped educate the glazing industry on Window Energy Ratings, while Fabricator of the Year went to Lister Trade Frames for a second year.

Lister’s Managing Director, Mark Warren comments: “As a company we’ve grown 15% in the last year, which is no mean feat given the current economy. An integral part of our growth was the decision to significantly step-up our marketing and invest in a quality prospect database system. We’ve been using Salestracker now since 2009 and it has transformed the way Lister’s approach sales and marketing activity.”

Solaglas picked up the Component Supplier of the Year. Matthew Kirby, Marketing Manager said; “Insight Data’s passion for quality and innovation is clear to see. We use Salestracker almost every day and their ‘can do’ attitude to customer support is outstanding.”

Innovation was a theme throughout the awards and another winner on the night, Matthew Glover of the Conservatory Outlet said; “Innovation and technology are essential elements of our business strategy, so working with Insight Data is a natural synergy for Conservatory Outlet”.

High profile fabricator Everglade Windows is another Insight Data customer who picked up an award, while WHS Halo, the only systems company to win, is an avid user of several Insight databases including window and door fabricators, installers, and the architects database.

“The Awards are an opportunity for the window industry to come together and recognize those companies at the very forefront of our industry” commented Insight Data’s Managing Director Andrew Scott; “Both the winners and finalists clearly demonstrated a professionalism and passion that sets the benchmark and helps create a better industry, and we are honoured to be working with so many industry leaders.”
