Truly the best of British Manufacturing

27 Feb 2013

With the Jubilee and the Olympics been and gone, last year every company worth its salt shamelessly donned the union jack whilst referring to themselves as ‘The Best of British’; from cushion covers to cat biscuits there was a mass rebranding throughout the year as advertising agencies across the land attempted to gear their products towards a newly patriotic Britain and a revived love of the monarchy.

 

The renaissance of the monarchy and British pride, no thanks to our less than breathtaking attempt at the Eurovision last year, flourished with the gift of an extra bank holiday and a four day long carnival in the centre of London. Parallel to the festivities ran the continuing and ever watched romance of Will and Kate. A story that captured the hearts and minds of our great nation in Summer 2011; immediately becoming an omnipresent aside to everyday life thanks the questionable media portrayal of the couple as true ‘rags to riches’ fairytale lovers. Yet still our current love of all things British seems somewhat fickle as businesses begin clutching at patriotic straws and ‘The Best of British’ fad reigns over us all.

 

Apropos, however, have been truly ‘The Best of British’ for almost 50 years now; with a heritage stretching back to the first innovations in glasshouse design and construction. Still today we design and manufacture our bespoke aluminium and glass extensions on British soil. We believe that fairytales don’t come true, faddy diets will only make you fatter and jumping on the bandwagon often results in a misplaced trumpet. Instead what you get with any bespoke Apropos design is a structure built to withstand time by a company you can trust with an area code you can contact.

 

We believe in quality assurance which is why we manufacture all Apropos’ parts in our in-house factory which allows us complete control over every glass and aluminium extension we install down to the finest details. Manufacturing our own products is also what allows us to offer such a wide range: from Atriums, Orangeries, Conservatories and Pool Houses to Roof Lanterns, Garden Rooms and Kitchen Extensions, whilst maintaining our bespoke nature. Apropos is proud to be one of the last enduring British manufacturers - jubilee or not – and will remain so for many years to come.

 

So why not make Mary Portas proud and support your British manufacturer? Of course it helps that the finished Apropos product is a breathtaking integration of garden and home; allowing light and life to flood even the gloomiest corners of your property and changing the way you live for good. We believe that open plan living and bright, airy spaces truly can make a difference to your every day wellbeing and happiness... unlike all of the misjudged booze you managed to make disappear last summer.
