SPECIALISM IS STRENGTH
Focusing on customer requirements and having the flexibility to meet them is key to its cladding success in a competitive market, says Vincent Timber. Mike Jeffree reports
Since the post-Covid home improvement boom, Vincent Timber acknowledges that the cladding market has become more challenging. The construction slowdown and wider economic pressures have impacted the sector.
