A supply relationship that included commercial and operational advice
Glass and balustrade supply alongside advice on commercial and operational matters.
These businesses are not consultancy clients. They benefited from Tom Evans’ commercial involvement through supply, distribution, market development, marketing or commercial advice. Formal consultancy engagements are published separately as case studies.

United Kingdom

Glazing & fenestration, Balustrades, Building products & construction
Nature of involvement
Supply + operational advice
The business
The historic relationship was with Glass Tech. HGW Solutions is the current business identity associated with that activity; the two are referenced together here rather than presented as one continuous company.
Tom sold glass and balustrade products to the business, including products sourced through the Glaseksperten and BM supplier relationships.
Tom also advised the business on operational and commercial matters. This was not a formal Evans Sales Consultancy engagement.
Commercial support provided
01
Glass and balustrade supply
Supplied glass and balustrade products drawn from established manufacturer relationships.
02
Commercial and operational advice
Advised on operational and commercial matters alongside the supply relationship.
The commercial principle
Supply relationships surface operational problems first
A supplier close to a business sees lead times, quoting and delivery pressure before anyone outside does. That vantage point is where useful operational advice comes from.
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.
