Three is the magic number for MFT

The National Fenestration Awards 2023 proves successful for Made for Trade. The national fabricator and sole manufacturer of Korniche collected three industry awards this October.

Winner – Conservatory Product of the Year – Korniche Roof Lantern, Made for Trade

Winner – Bi-Folding Door Manufacturer of the Year – Made for Trade

Winner – Aluminium Fabricator of the Year – Made for Trade

Made for Trade may not have had a stroke of luck at the Doncaster Racecourse on October 29th, but they more than made up for it with three significant wins that are crucial to their business.

Retaining the prestigious Aluminium Fabricator of the Year award for 2023 is a testament to the consistent quality of Made for Trade’s service, products, and fabrication. The Korniche brand continues to impress and satisfy its trade customers nationwide. 

Manufacturing and engineering development is pivotal at Made for Trade, and they take pride in their ongoing engineering and design of innovative products and services. Winning the title of Bi-Folding Door Manufacturer of the Year further validates the company’s investment and unwavering efforts in perfecting the Korniche Bi-folding Door. Installers have been drawn to this product due to its remarkable ease and speed of installation, thanks to the ingenious Speedbead. This knock-in bead sets a new standard in the market, allowing door sashes to be glazed quickly and effortlessly. It also enables swift adjustments and any necessary remedial work without causing any damage to the bead or the frame. This revolutionary product sets Made for Trade apart from others in the industry. 

After an impressive six years as the market leader for the Korniche Roof Lantern, winning the Conservatory Product of the Year in 2023 is a true testament to its excellence and its established position in the fenestration landscape. While many competitors have emerged in recent years with their own iterations of lantern roofs, none have matched the ground-breaking advancements achieved by the Korniche Lantern. Its unparalleled ease and speed of construction and installation, coupled with its exceptional strength, continue to set the benchmark in the industry. 

The team from Made for Trade, including Ian Bousfield (Marketing Manager), Mike Robinson (Head of Sales Operations), and Kevin Bell (Senior Sales Associate), attended the NFA 2023 event. The company received multiple nominations and shortlisting for awards, making the day a resounding success off the racecourse. Ian Bousfield expressed his appreciation for the National Fenestration Awards, highlighting how they provide an excellent platform for the industry. The nomination, shortlisting, and voting processes allow the entire industry to participate, allowing businesses to showcase their products and services and let the industry determine the deserving winners in each category. 

Congratulations to all the runners, riders, and winners of the NFAs in 2023.
