Ascot Group founder and Managing Director, Andrew Scott, delivered a compelling address at this year’s Glazing Summit highlighting the key challenges and opportunities shaping the future of the UK fenestration industry.
Speaking to a packed audience of business leaders and industry professionals at the Coventry Building Society Arena, Andrew shared exclusive data and analysis drawn from sister company, Insight Data, which now tracks around 50,000 companies and 80,000 industry contacts across the glazing supply chain. He also revealed the results of an exclusive industry survey, conducted by the dedicated Insight Data research team, which highlighted how 2,000 UK installers are coping with current market conditions.
During this year’s Glazing Summit, Andrew warned companies against relying heavily on Google Ads and instead urged them to “return to the art of marketing.” He emphasised that long-term success depends on brand building, customer trust and diversification. “Those who adapt, evolve and invest in true marketing will thrive,” Andrew commented. “The future still offers opportunity but only for those willing to change.”
The positive impact of Andrew’s presentation was evident in the room. He successfully inspired businesses to commit to sustainable long-term investments required to truly succeed in the glass and glazing sector.
