A COLOURFUL NEW PICTURE FROM KOLORSEAL
As colour coating specialists, the Kolorseal team is focused on the niche market they dominate. With over 18 years experience in the sector, the company, headed up by Managing Director, Deborah Hendry, is an authority on modern and traditional projects that require only the best. Despite the challenging market of the last 2 years, this has not resulted in a loss of enthusiasm by the highly skilled team. Instead, this has been a time of evaluation, adaption and growth with a determination to provide customers with the broadest colour choice possible to help support their business needs.
Kolorseal is recognised nationally as one of the finest, niche colour coating companies on the market. Deborah’s passion about Kolorseal is evident as is her business acumen. It has been infectious for those who work with her, with each member of the team highly valued across the business. Her accessibility and ‘lead by example’ beliefs have proved very successful with an open door policy for staff, customers and suppliers. There is a vast choice in terms of colour, and the style of products that can be colour coated, from pvc-u casements, and vertical sliding sash windows, composite doors and conservatory roofs to aluminium and glass that all help to improve or match any customers preferred overall requirements. There is a resilience built into the heart of the firm with a desire to not just keep up with modern technologies but to lead from the front. Larger premises, new website developments,
improved manufacturing procedures, digital marketing platforms and more recently the desire to broaden the company’s reach online, all combine to place Kolorseal and its customers ahead of the game.
Deborah comments, “There is no quick fix to mental health issues particularly those that were caused by the pandemic, and in one way or another we have all been affected when it comes to the workplace.
Currently, with so many sales happening online there is a definite shift in market attitudes and the technological advancements now available from Kolorseal have proved advantageous for customers.
Everyone is still adapting to the market challenges in respect of supply, demand and coping with a new way of working brought about over the last 2 years. Remote work left some feeling exceptionally isolated whilst those in production have had their concerns regarding social distancing and quarantining.
Deborah comments, “Customers and consumers alike, now have access to product information, pricing, and corporate reviews online in a very busy digital world. Using these emerging technologies in a way that can bring benefits to customers is now deeply integrated into our business strategies moving forward.”
ADAPTING TO NEW BUSINESS METHODS Production operates in a modern, efficient and much more flexible way at the new premises in Huddersfield, with consistently high quality standards always the priority. Quality counts for the whole team and the recognition that for consumers who are renovating or upgrading windows and doors, the investment in colour is now a critical aspect that homeowners evaluate. For Deborah Hendry, quality guarantees and breadth of choice remain paramount, with technical advice readily available for those needing help or advice regarding colour palettes. Being aware of just how much impact Brexit and Covid have made across industry in general, as well as on a global level, there is a determination at Kolorseal, that adapting to changes and giving encouragement is essential. The De-Stress Kit that was launched in 2021 has proved popular with customers and installers who have enjoyed a little light relief or distraction at stressful times.

She continues, “Mental Health issues have not been brought about just by the pandemic and I recognised that some people may need a gesture of support.”
LOOKING AHEAD The entire team does not believe in standing still and Deborah considers that Kolorseal should be a solution provider. This gives customers reassurance about the superiority of the colour coating services they receive. Equally the high standards of the company, helps to further substantiate the installers and the associated fabricator’s brand. Looking to the future, the company is much more focussed on sustainability with investments made in many different areas to improve working conditions in the larger facility. Deborah concludes, “ I have been extremely lucky at the helm of Kolorseal and there aren’t too many people who run a niche company like this; but I have worked hard and have tried to pass that ethic on right through the business. People know I understand the market, the change in trends and what is expected to support customers properly.” For more information on Kolorseal please visit www.kolorseal.co.uk.
