“The showroom was purpose-built to really showcase the improvements we can deliver, with visitors able to see a contemporary flat roof kitchen extension, both tiled roof and hybrid roof home extensions, a stunning orangery, beautiful glass roof conservatory and a home bar.”
The facility, which is located on Foundry Lane, is one year old this month and the company are marking the event by giving clients who purchase products whilst visiting the showroom a £250 discount.
This will be in place until the end of June.
Leighanne continued: “I can’t believe it has been one year already - so much has happened in those twelve months and we wanted to say thank you to the people of Worthing and Horsham by holding a month-long promotion.”

This has seen enquiries increase by 50% and the greater visibility of operations has also helped the duo to plan installations better, freeing up their time to take on new projects.
Greg Cox said: “Leighanne and I really wanted to push the business forward, but we weren’t sure how to do that whilst jugging all our other activities. One of the biggest benefits we’ve gained from Conservatory Outlet is the breadth of its support that has really given us the confidence and backing to ‘go for it’.
“We’ve never worked with another supplier that has put its arms around us. It’s also been a great support being able to visit the showrooms of other members for advice and tips.”
