Safestyle Window Man’s New Year wishes!

7th january 2010

Happy New Year to all and welcome back! It was nice Christmas break, peaceful and happy with the family, plus my son’s 18th birthday party was fun. I met my old mates on New Year’s eve, they came from Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, London, and Scunthorpe! We had a great time, reminiscing and general childishness!

I’m just back at Safestyle now, and wow has it been snowing! It’s proper double glazing weather, where we ask our customers to be patient while we get there to fit their new energy saving windows and doors!

After a great year last year, the only way is up – more adverts, more events, more motivating, more windows!!!

Got to go, just heard that Owen Coyle, the Burnley Manager, has turned his coat and gone to Notlob FC. I hope by the end of the season they’re a Championship club!

Yours back in
window style,

Safestyle′s Window Man is a busy, busy man!

1st December 2009

Hello again! I′ve been mighty busy since the last time I posted. Firstly I was compering at a "Lady′s Day" for the match Burnley vs Hull on Saturday 31st October, wearing a bow tie and tux, for which the BBC did a special Match of the Day 2 report. It was a good laugh, the day went great - there were people from Harvey Nicks doing a fashion show, and Humberstones Jewellers did a raffle and someone won a £500 bracelet! Oh and we won 2-0!

That week I visited the Safestyle branches of Manchester, Hull and Coventry, and then went on to film a new Safestyle TV ad – it was an interesting experience, quite surreal in some ways with special effects going on, and I ended up being "left out in the cold!"

The following Friday I was compering at a charity dinner for Bovis Homes, which is linked to the Furniture for Education Worldwide charity I′ve helped and supported previously. I was also the Auctioneer, helping raise £6000 on the auction, and altogether I reckon we raised £10,000 – fantastic!

On Saturday 21st November it was Burnley vs Aston Villa and I was compering at the European suite. After the match drew 1-1 we were doing the quiz results and interviews and there was a sudden power cut, but I carried on regardless because (as you can imagine, with my voice) a microphone was not needed!

Then that following week I was at Safestyle UK again, in Reading, Brighton and Luton branches, speaking to all our lads and buzzing them up with the energy saving double glazing message!

What′s this I keep hearing about a "scrappage scheme"? First it was cars, now it′s windows? But when I look it up, all I can find is a petition - a government "national window scrappage scheme" doesn′t exist! So far as I can tell, a couple of Nationals have put their heads together and dreamt it up! Or maybe it′s just a "scrap" between them. In any case, begging for scraps just isn′t our style.

Anyway, gotta dash, the phone′s ringing!

Yours in the busy double
glazing business,
Safestyle Window Man Jeff

Safestyle windows for everyone!

26th October 2009

Hello all! The clocks have gone back and I’m back too! I’ve been out and about, on the road visiting a lot of people around the country, and it’s interesting to see how the weather’s been affecting things, what with the cold, rain and the wintry feel it is now. People are seeing and feeling it, and thermostats are going up. This is the time when it really becomes clear that old windows need replacing, to put an end to all those leaks, draughts and security issues. I can’t stop shouting about it but they don’t come much better than Safestyle windows, with energy saving double glazing to suit any style of home and budget! Everyone’s gotta watch out for those energy bills going through the roof!

Last week I was visiting Safestyle’s Peterborough and Luton branches, then I went down to Safestyle Southampton on Friday, then flew back to go to Jimmy McIlroy’s new book launch. He is thought of as Burnley’s greatest player and it was fantastic to be compering at the launch.

Speaking of football, I was also compering at the 1882 Lounge for Burnley vs Wigan Athletic match, where we unfortunately lost 3-1. Prior to that there was also another defeat for us at Blackburn Rovers, a big local derby, which ended 3-2... So it’s been a bad couple of weeks of football!

Meanwhile, at the Safestyle branches we’ve been gearing up for the countdown to Christmas, and wow! It’s only just around the corner, you know – just a matter of weeks really! So look out for me this week at Reading, and Southampton again, and then I’ll be at Brighton on Friday!

Yours double glazing
the country,
Safestyle Window Man Jeff

The Safestyle Window Man, one of TV’s most recognisable faces!

8th October 2009

Hello, I’ve been continuing my helter-skelter tour of the country, visiting the various Safestyle branches along the way. I met our lads and lasses at Romford, Brighton and Maidstone last Friday, discussed the virtues of uPVC windows, and from there I drove home, which took an incredible 5 hours with all the traffic!

I quickly got changed into a different suit (a compere suit!) and went up to Todmorden Town Hall, where I was MC (ringmaster!) for 15 rounds of amateur boxing staged by Brian Roche. The problem was I had no microphone, but when did that ever stop the Window Man?! Well it didn’t make a difference because I just spoke as I normally do and everyone heard, or course! There were 15 boxers from Roche gym in Burnley and people from Doncaster, Chesterfield, Blackpool and Manchester. And with a large helping of pie and peas, a good night was had by all and it finished about half twelve.

The next day was Saturday and Burnley FC were at home to Birmingham City. I was compering in the European suite and shouting the Clarets on to a 2-1 victory again! This home win for Burnley broke the record for a newly-promoted team in the Premiership, winning four out of four home games.

Then I got my MC suit back on again and went to be a compere at Nelson House in Burnley for Furniture for Education Worldwide Charity Dinner, where all the schools in Burnley that have surplus of classroom furniture send it out to Africa and India. And with raffles, auctions and games we raised over £4,000 - fantastic!

Then I had a phone call from Radio Lancashire’s Tony Livesey to do an interview over the phone for their breakfast show, discussing memorable TV ads. It was amazing to hear that people were texting in saying that my face was the most recognisable in TV commercials!

Yours in memorable
advertising, Jeff
