Company News Autumn 2004

Roof Shop

Roof Shop is the name we have given to all new and refurbished SIG Roofing Supplies Group Trade Counters. The new Proos Grimsby branch was the first site to brand its trade counter in this way, but many more branches have followed in the same style including Accurate Roofing Supplies – Gravesend, Asphaltic – Derby and Bishops Waltham, with Clydesdale Roofing Supplies – Leigh, Asphaltic – Sidcup and Proos Roofing Supplies – Stoke, soon to follow. Roof Shop was conceived through our desire to develop the facilities at our branches and enhance the layout, appearance and practicality of our trade counter areas in particular. We have brought in a new Merchandising Manager, Ben Saunders, who is responsible for introducing this new initiative at many of our branches.

Through discussions with our customer base we have highlighted areas for improvement and are now using this information to create Roof Shop – a shop format that meets your needs.

Ben Saunders commented, “Launching the Roof Shop initiative gives our branches a fantastic opportunity to bring a much greater range of products to our customers. Our aim is to produce trade counters that provide you with everything you will need, not just for this job, but the next job and the job after. Look out for changes at your local branch.”

Pushing Back the Counter

In a Roof Shop you will find that all the products have been moved from behind the counter to make them more visible and accessible.

Never again will you arrive on site without your nails after forgetting topick them up in the branch. With all our roofing accessories on display you can see the full range of products available. With products atyour fingertips you can pick and choose easily and see the quality of the merchandise on display.

Prices On Show

Roof Shop products will soon have all products clearly priced to help you make a quick, informed decision.

Improved Product Portfolio

A much wider range of products will be available from Roof Shop. All the essential items like nails and solutions will still be offered, but a greater range of hand tools, power tools, clothing, safety wear, foot wear and fixings will also be on display. Vending machines will be installed in all Roof Shops, so look out for one opening near you and pop in for a free coffee! See our article “Branching Out” for details of branch
refurbishments.
