Behind the Scenes at PermaGroup: Business insights in our top line interview series with Adrian Buttress

How Do You Plan to Scale PermaGroup in the Next Five Years?

Video transcript:

So, in terms of scaling PermaRoof in the next several years, a few things, you know. We're looking, and have been speaking to some great sales people, some good management people that will help our infrastructure going forward. Anything that can be automated within the business, we're going to automate to make it slicker, quicker and faster, so improving service.

We're looking at other distribution - sub-distribution points, I guess, north and south, so that we can extend our reach of deliveries and stockholding. It's things like that that we're doing.

Additional products that we're looking at is a liquid roofing system, the PermaRoof100 system is meant for the residential market - it comes in handy 5 and 10m2 kits - so that will fit perfectly within stockists across the UK. Over the last two years it's really come on leaps and bounds, so we decided we'd really get into the liquid roof market - again, that's another growth market.

So, as we grow , how that benefits the customers is obviously that there will be two or three sub-stockist branches that we can distribute from so that our customers will be able to collect from these branches. Our delivery fleet will expand so again, more delivery slots on our own transport, as opposed to using third-parties, which can be a painful part of the business!

So that's what will help - and obviously more stockholding as the market grows for the product, we'll have more on land here in the UK, because most of the things we do are imported.
