Fitrite hits the West Country

The West of England now has exclusive access to the revolutionary Fitrite decking and fencing portfolio from Sash UK through West Country Caravans, which has been appointed sole distributor of the range for the area.

Owner of West Country Caravans, Gary Rix, made the shrewd business decision to stock and distribute the Fitrite range with a view to longer-term plans for his company. “The current climate is encouraging businesses to diversify and expand into other areas, and this is exactly what we are doing,” he explains. The company is the leading supplier and distributor of ABI and BK Bluebird holiday homes throughout the South West of England and has been established in the caravan holiday homes business for over 40 years. In addition to this core business, Gary also saw a niche market for the supply of decking and fencing to other businesses in the area, in particular, farms, schools and pubs.

“The Fitrite concept has been extremely well received by our customers so far,” Gary continues. “The key factor is that it is extremely low maintenance. This is perfect for the farming community who can erect the fencing without worrying about damage or deterioration from the elements, as well as for schools whose specification requirements call for products that will stand firm over long periods of time, reducing expensive maintenance programmes.”

The Fitrite range offers resilience and versatility and being completely wood free, it will not rot. Environmentally, it boasts exemplary credentials – it is 100% recyclable and contains no toxic chemicals. It is also extremely strong, with the fencing posts and rails using galvanised high-strength steel internal supports, providing the ability to withstand not only impact but the West Country coastal environment.

The Fitrite range is now available from the company’s base in Exeter and Gary is confident that the Fitrite concept will be a welcome addition to his product range, offering the highest quality, lowest maintenance and most environmentally friendly fencing and decking currently available on the market.
