Absolute Windows Ltd of Bolton, a trade and commercial fabricator, has opened a new concept: a Cash and Carry superstore for window installers. Based in Manchester, the new 12,000ft2 unit will hold ready-made frames in stock, offering an ideal service for the smaller installer and builder.

Absolute Windows started life in 1988, with partners Jim Dance and Tony Marsden already having worked within the glass and glazing industry for many years. The new Cash & Carry store, called Classic Trade Frames and open from March 1st, will be run by a third Director, Richard Goodwin
