Purplex Marketing

Posted on 22/12/2014

Purplex, the specialist window industry marketing agency, recently held a staff conference in Weston-Super-Mare, to outline plans for the business and recognise achievements.

The event, held at the new ‘Hive’ conference centre, gave all 40 members of the team the opportunity to speak on their current job role and several managers gave presentations on the latest marketing thinking, trends and technology.

The conference had a guest speaker, Shane Dean, who discussed the importance of passion and enthusiasm, going the extra mile for customers, and teamwork.

Managing Director Andrew Scott outlined future growth plans, including investment in new people, training and resources. “This is a very exciting time for Purplex. We’re grown rapidly over the last three years and our plans for the future are extremely ambitious. This is likely to include a number of acquisitions as we aim to have around 100 staff in the next two years.”

Purplex currently operates through 5 divisions – marketing consultancy, PR, graphic design, online marketing and direct marketing.  For 2015 the company plans to add mobile app development, online software applications and video.

The company currently works with a host of well-known companies in the window industry across trade, commercial and retail sectors, with a dedicated installer support team.  It also works with several international companies and has a multilingual team covering 7 languages.

“We start a major recruitment drive in January, so we will outgrow our current 4,000 sq ft offices early in 2015 and we’re looking at additional premises, potentially in London,” adds Andrew.

The conference finished with an awards presentation, with 10 members of the team picking up awards including best newcomer, most improved and employee of the year.
