The challenge
Kingsmead Glass & Glazing is a High Wycombe glazing business whose public proposition covers glazing services, windows, doors, aluminium and uPVC products, bi-folds and repair and replacement work across Buckinghamshire and the surrounding area.
The capability was not in question. The commercial question was different: how a capable local glazing business develops a stronger commercial proposition and starts winning more substantial work rather than remaining dependent on straightforward local jobs.
That is a sales-strategy and business-development problem, not a marketing one. It requires deciding what the business sells commercially, who it approaches, and how those opportunities are pursued.
The objective
Refine the commercial offering so the business could compete for larger work.
Develop activity beyond straightforward local glazing jobs.
Identify and pursue commercial opportunities deliberately rather than reactively.
Strengthen how opportunities were approached, so more of them converted.
What we did
01
Refining the commercial offering
Worked with the business on what it was actually selling commercially — the proposition presented to commercial buyers, rather than the domestic glazing offer that already worked locally.
02
Opportunity development
Helped identify commercial opportunities worth pursuing and supported the business in going after them, including opportunities involving organisations such as Audas and Meldrum. Those organisations were commercial opportunities the engagement helped pursue — they were not Evans clients.
03
A more deliberate commercial approach
Strengthened how opportunities were approached: which customers and project types to target, how to position the business against them and how to carry a commercial conversation through to a decision.
04
Winning commercial work
Supported the business directly in pursuing and winning commercial work, giving Kingsmead a route into projects broader than its established local base.

Proposition
Commercial offering refined
Over approximately two years of consultancy support, Kingsmead developed a broader commercial focus alongside its established glazing work.
The business had a stronger, more deliberate approach to pursuing commercial opportunities, and Evans supported it in winning commercial work, including opportunities involving organisations such as Audas and Meldrum.

A Canadian architectural-components business wanted to establish a route into the UK and wider Europe. We rejected a conventional distributor model, built a project-partner network across the UK, Germany and France, and helped generate approximately £2.2m of new-market turnover within 12 months.
A German balustrade manufacturer needed a route into the UK. Distribution alone was not the answer — the distributors had to be found, onboarded, trained and then supported in selling.
A major UK balustrade supplier was well established elsewhere in the UK but thin on the ground across the northern territories. Growth there needed direct commercial activity.
Crucial Engineering wanted to expand beyond Bradford and build a genuine national sales operation. We helped develop larger Tier 1 and Tier 2 opportunities, strengthen business development and establish a profitable new automation revenue stream.
D&I wanted to accelerate growth beyond its existing model. We helped strengthen the sales strategy while establishing a dedicated installation arm and new aluminium fabrication capability, supporting turnover growth from approximately £2.2m to £4.6m.
A European architectural-glazing manufacturer wanted to establish a genuine UK operation. We helped set up the office and showroom, build the sales strategy and pipeline, support staffing and launch the business commercially.
BM Architectural wanted to expand its balustrade sales and create its next stage of growth. We helped win new customers, establish a dedicated architectural division and develop additional product opportunities including glass canopies.
Over approximately three years, Evans worked with Beautiful Homes UK on geographic expansion into London, winning commercial and residential work, and broadening what the business could sell — including helping introduce extensions as an additional commercial offering alongside glazing and kitchens.
Trade Sliders is a Yorkshire sliding-door and wardrobe business supplying the trade. Over approximately nine months, Evans helped the business win wardrobe work with regular-buying trade customers across the UK, rather than depending on isolated one-off orders.
