Our Windows are now SBD accredited

We are now accredited with Secured By Design on all our PVCu Windows. Established in 1989, Secured by Design (SBD) is owned by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and is the corporate title for a group of national police projects focusing on the design and security for new & refurbished homes, commercial premises and car parks as well as the acknowledgement of quality security products and crime prevention projects.

Street Names & Direction Signs

We have now started to manufacture street direction and street name signs.

They are made using our Metro-Wood environment friendly material along with engraved name plates and signs to create these new products.

Metrolite success

Well done to John Derbyshire who successfully passed his entry Level 3 Literacy exam. John works at Metrolite and is on the Workstep programme which is designed to help people with disabilities find suitable employment.

This is one of the many achievements gained by the employees of Metrolite which include numeracy, literacy and NVQ's.
