Our First Open Day at Mike Martin Window Systems
On Friday 18th and Saturday 19th October 2024, we welcomed the public to our headquarters in mid-Cornwall for our first-ever Open Day. It was an opportunity to showcase our purpose-built facilities, which include a modern showroom, offices, and warehouse, and to offer a behind-the-scenes look at how we’ve been helping improve homes across Cornwall since 1986.
Opening Our Doors to the Community
For the first time, we invited customers, friends, and local residents to visit our site and meet the team behind Mike Martin Window Systems. Our staff guided visitors through the showroom and warehouse, providing insights into the products and services that have been at the core of our business for nearly 40 years.
We were joined by representatives from our manufacturers, who were available to offer advice, answer technical questions, and hand out some well-received goodie bags. This was a great chance for visitors to not only see our facilities but also to ask questions and understand the range of high-quality products we offer.
A Family Affair
It wasn’t just our team who made the event a success—family and friends of the company also came along to show their support. As a family-run business, having them there with us felt fitting and reflected the close-knit, supportive culture we’ve built over the years.
We were also pleased to be joined by Poppy Clemow, a talented young athlete we sponsor, who came along with her family. It was great to have her there, and her presence added something special to the day.
Weathering the Storm
While Friday brought wet and windy conditions, the unpredictable Cornish weather didn’t put people off. By Saturday, the sun was out, which lifted everyone’s spirits and made for an enjoyable second day. The positive atmosphere and good turnout were a welcome boost for the team after a busy few months.
Recognising Our Team’s Hard Work
To round off the weekend, the team gathered for dinner on Saturday evening—a small gesture of thanks for their continued hard work and dedication. It was a good moment to reflect on the success of the event and the efforts everyone put in to make it happen.
Looking Ahead
Hosting our first Open Day has been a positive experience, not only in terms of engaging with the community but also in recognising the strength and support within our team. We’re already considering future events and ways to further connect with our customers and community.
Thanks to everyone who attended and supported us—we look forward to seeing you again next year.
