A family-run home improvement specialist is looking to grow sales by 50% after announcing plans to launch a new showroom in Maesteg.
MPN Windows, Doors and Conservatories, which is led by Melanie Webster and her son Nathan, is investing nearly £150,000 into transforming a 5000 sq ft building on the high-street into a state-of-the-art showcase for its wide range of products and living extensions.
From here potential customers will be able to explore top of the range ‘Forte’ composite doors and ‘Extreme’ UPVC windows, as well as tapping into the latest CAD/CAM software to bring designs to life.
The company’s ambitious growth plans will be boosted even further with news that it has become the 30th member of the CO Retail Network, a premium group of retailers that work together to share best practice, boost digital marketing and bring exciting new products to market.
“2026 is going to be a really big year for MPN and one where we build on over 34 years’ experience in the trade,” explained Melanie.
“The new showroom should be ready for an official launch at the end of June and will be a big boost to Maesteg’s bustling high street. We’re in the process of renovating the old Boxing Gym to create a modern and welcoming place for people to come in and chat with our experts about doors, windows, conservatories and, increasingly, our popular range of living spaces.
“We’re the only retailer who has access to the ‘Forte’ and ‘Extreme’ ranges in South West Wales and down the M4 corridor – this will be a big selling point as they offer more colours and styles than conventional collections.”
MPN, which has recently joined Fensa and the Glass and Glazing Federation, currently employs ten people across its retail offer and its installation team, the latter completing more than 1000 installs every year.
With sales revenues set to increase dramatically once the new showroom is open, the firm is expecting to embark on a major recruitment drive that will see up to ten new jobs created locally.
“There’s a real personal approach that can only be generated by a family-run business. That’s what makes us so special and accounts for all the repeat business we’ve enjoyed over the last 34 years…in some instances we’ve had three generations use us,” added Nathan.
“The relationship with CO Retail Network will help us extend our reach outside of our traditional customer base. We’re going to be receiving a brand-new, industry-leading website, custom-designed branded brochures and lots of support across digital marketing, including a series of retail videos.”
Greg Kane, CEO of CO Manufacturing (formerly known as Conservatory Outlet), added his support: “South West Wales was an area we’d looked at for a while, so to get a company with the local reputation of MPN is a big coup for the network.
“In Melanie and Nathan, we have two people who are hugely committed to delivering exceptional service to existing and new clients and share our values of always going beyond the norm to make sure the perfect install is completed. I’m really excited to see how the new showroom takes shape and how we can help the duo grow.
“This partnership will allow us to accelerate our growing brand in key locations. By being able to rely on industry-leading marketing output, including SEO, PPC and traditional literature, we’ll reach more homeowners than ever before.”
In true CO Retail Network style, MPN will receive a brand-new, industry-leading website and a custom-designed suite of branded brochures. Also planned are an enhanced PPC and multi-channel digital campaign, as well as a series of retail videos.
