dedicated to producing bespoke products. This enables us to dramatically reduce lead times for these items and ensures the manufacture of our off -the-shelf ranges is not negatively impacted. We have also deployed dedicated experts from the computer aided design (CAD) team to work on bespoke solutions and value-engineer standard production items to provide greater effi ciencies.


A further benefi t of proactive and early engagement with contractors is the potential to identify opportunities for manufacturing off -site. Prefabricated containment modules and risers off er many advantages for contractors across sectors. From bracketry through to fully populated frames, there is a vast range of modular solutions which can save costs, time, waste and labour while off ering installers known embodied carbon content. Prefabrication can also support health and safety legislation requirements as there is no need for hot works on site.


“A collaborative approach will ensure manufacturers and wholesalers are aligned in terms of their environmental commitments.”


As part of the Hudson Group, Armorduct can join forces with sister company, RMS, to provide modular containment systems to exact specifi cations, providing a one-stop-shop for contractors’ cable management needs and maximising on site productivity.


Mutual benefi ts


When creating bespoke or modular cable management solutions for contractors, manufacturers can’t work in silos. To provide the best possible solution and service, strong partnerships with wholesalers are crucial. In addition to containment, a wide variety of ancillary products, ranging from sockets through to cabling, will be required to meet the wider electrical brief. A close business relationship, that sees manufacturers share knowledge and information, will create opportunities for wholesalers to maximise sales, streamline the supply chain and improve the customer experience throughout the project. Eff ective communication between suppliers, wholesalers and contractors is key to this

The ability to swiftly contact design engineers, technical experts and sales teams who can promptly answer questions and address any issues is a critical factor in completing projects on time. To meet this need, Armorduct has set up a major projects team comprising experts with more than 100 years’ combined industry experience. Their role is to liaise with all parties and provide a personal service. This builds trust, makes the life of the wholesaler easier and guides the project more successfully.
