Sheerframe windowmaker Coalville Glass won new contracts totalling more than £1 million in value in just two weeks in October. <br> <br> The family-run Leicestershire business which specialises in serving the new build sector has seen a "flood" of new orders from five different housebuilders to supply and install windows at sites across the Midlands. <br> <br> Managing director Ray Whitehorn says: "We've been making Sheerframe windows since 1989 and have seen ups and downs in the market in the past 20 or so years. There's no doubt that for the past couple of years the new build sector has been a tough place to be. With systems supplier L.B. Plastics, we have worked hard during that time to win business and to maintain our reputation for quality and service delivery. That hard work is clearly paying dividends as the market shows signs of recovery." <br> <br> In addition to work for Miller Homes, the team has won contracts with Persimmon Homes in Leicestershire and at two Linden Homes sites in the East Midlands.
