A MULTI-AWARD-WINNING leisure group has left competitors/challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic in the shade by unveiling a new range of products and plans for further growth.
UK Leisure Living, which employs 15 staff across sites in Mochdre, St Asaph and Deeside, is receiving positive feedback and sales for the latest line in its quality outdoor selection – roofed and retractable roofed verandas.
Managing Director Gareth Jones has also secured a partnership with Swedish manufacturer Tylo, a pioneer in the production and global distribution of saunas, steam rooms and steam showers and is remodelling their showrooms to complement existing lines including hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, and the swim-spa centre.
Having achieved record turnover this year following a post-pandemic boom he says diversifying their offer gives UK Leisure Living Group an even more sustainable, long-term model for success.
“There has already been a real buzz and interest in the verandas because it is quite a unique product to this region and works perfectly alongside our current offering and really well priced,” said Gareth.
“We’ve had particular interest from homeowners and people who are investing in properties because like last year they will be remaining in the UK this summer and spending more time in the garden.
“The verandas we offer are more functional, contemporary conservatories with a modern twist; there has been a lot of demand and we look forward to seeing how that develops over the coming weeks.”
UK Leisure Living can supply and deliver to any part of the UK and are also able to install the products with its own installation teams. The Verandas are also available to the trade and Professional DIY at reduced rates.
The verandas are available to view online and at the Mochdre and Deeside showrooms; the latter opened earlier this year and is already proving a hit with customers in north east Wales and over the border into Cheshire, Shropshire and Wirral.
“Overall sales are up 134% on last year, and last year was our best ever,” said Gareth.
“We will continue to invest and grow wisely as there are challenges for all businesses in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic and other factors, particularly a blockage and slowdown in supply from overseas.
“We are in a good place as we anticipated this could happen – particularly with the hot tubs as ours come from the USA and the UK – but there will be limits for many companies in this and other sectors importing goods from the far east and China.
“For now, we will continue to expand and diversify with a focus on the verandas in the months ahead into autumn and winter – we anticipate interest will continue to accelerate as the wet weather draws in. Verandas offer that extra outdoor space when the British weather decides to strike.
“We’re very excited and have an experienced and skilled sales and service team in place to help meet the demand and help the business emerge from Covid-19 in a stronger position than ever before. Anyone looking to view our new range of Verandas can visit our Super Showroom in Mochdre”
