Sir John Harvey-Jones MBE, one of Britain's best known and most admired industrialists, has chosen a conservatory from leading trade fabricator John Fredericks.

The former ICI Chairman and BBC ‘Troubleshooter' already had a timber conservatory on his 1920s Hertfordshire home, which was beyond its useful life and was not watertight. He was however keen to retain the period characteristics of the former conservatory's original marble floor and side wall and turned to John Fredericks' approved installer Wye Valley Windows for their expert advice.

Having surveyed the property, Wye Valley Windows recommended a stylish six by four metre Edwardian conservatory, which would provide a very useable extra room that was flooded with natural light. The firm carefully dismantled and removed the original conservatory, so as not to damage the marble floor and side wall, and installed the new conservatory, all within a week.

Sir John is delighted with the result: ‘I've been very pleased with both the quality of the conservatory itself and the workmanship provided by Wye Valley Windows', he commented.

Andrew Derrick, Managing Director of Wye Valley Windows added: ‘We are naturally delighted that Sir John is satisfied with the installation. We pride ourselves on offering a high quality product and service and this installation is testimony to our joint efforts with John Fredericks.'
