In October we had a visit from APS sponsor recipient, Ethan Faulkner, who took some time off from his travels in the British Sprint Championship. Young Ethan had his race car into one of our warehouses for a photo shoot for a motor sport magazine. Seen here with our staff, Sheena Archer and his dad Kenny Faulkner. Congratulations on all your wins in 2025 and best of luck with the plans for 2026 and your new racing car!
APS wish Harry Corry home furnishings, the second retailer to move into Enniskillen Lakeland’s Retail & Leisure Park, the best of luck for their grand opening.
The first tenant Home Bargains opened in early July. APS were pleased to supply the curtain walling, window and door systems to the glazing contractor on this large project. Looking forward to seeing more photos as more units fill up. Well done to all involved.
Nothing says Pay Day like the APS Pay Day breakfast. Our Payday Breakfasts are guaranteed to put a smile on everyone’s face. Bacon or sausage butties or choose the healthy option porridge and fruit. The staff really appreciate this treat that coincides with receiving pay every month. Thanks to Jonny, Brian, Michelle, Victoria and Kate for posing for photo.
It’s great to hear from Oliver Lamont who has received sponsorship from APS for his racing.
At the start of the summer he collected 4 trophies at the Autotest Drivers Club Dinner – two for 1st in Class and two for 2nd in Class from previous events. Then at the Junction One Autotest, he secured another 1st in Class win, adding another trophy to the collection. 🏆
More recently Oliver competed at the ADC Nutts Corner Autotest where he won the ‘all forward event’ overall by 6 seconds. This means that Oliver now leads the Northern Ireland Junior Autotest Championship by 4 points. Oliver is definitely establishing a reputation for himself in Autotest Competitions, and we sincerely wish him continued success.
The weather didn’t dampen the spirit at Belfast’s Memory Walk on 27th September in Ormeau Park in aid of Alzheimer’s Society. Team APS turned out reliable as ever. We had some craic on the 6k walk and a chance to chat about everything not work related for a change. A morning well spent as we remembered those who are living with the effects of Alzheimer’s and those we have known who are no longer with us. Many in APS have experience on a personal level. APS board matched the funds we raised and a cheque was presented to Alzheimer’s Society for £1200. Thanks to everyone who took part and donated.
In September, we were thrilled to attend an incredibly successful three days at the Glee Show! We were so excited to introduce APS’s new composite range to the UK market, and the response has been fantastic.
From a busy Monday spent setting up, the show ran from Tuesday to Thursday…….Lots of interesting business was discussed. New products were launched to complement the composite range. Solar Lights for Fence- Decorative Trellis & Screens – Composite Deck Chairs – Composite plant pot caddies. Attendees could explore our full range of composite decking, fencing, and cladding.
A big thank you to everyone who visited our stand and joined in on some really promising conversations. We’re looking forward to building on these new relationships and working together on exciting projects ahead.
APS has provided architectural glazing systems for multiple Applegreen stores, demonstrating our ability to deliver top-notch solutions to companies in the fuel and forecourt retail industry.
When we saw Applegreen Dunshaughlin on M3 Co Meath feature in news releases lately due to its introduction of the first Taco Bell to Ireland we were keen to grab some photos as a great example.
Even though the store isn’t quite open yet, with only days to go, we thank the busy construction team on site who allowed us to take these photos to share. We look forward to posting more photos when everything is completed and the store is open plus indulging in some tacos.
Our systems installed here include ACW curtain walling – 175mm transoms & 200mm mullions plus Solar Shading & ACW040 projection brackets, ACD commercial door, AP200 resi door, AP134 therm+ windows and AFG flush glazing.
With the help of Solar Power NI based in Ballycastle we’ve recently taken a major step in reducing our carbon footprint by installing a 15.13 kW solar PV system at our Lisburn premises.
The system comprises 52 high-performance Solarwatt Classic panels, paired with a hybrid inverter. This setup is expected to generate over 11,600 kWh of clean electricity every year, helping us avoid approximately 3 tonnes of CO₂ annually — the equivalent of planting around 135 trees.
We’re proud to say this installation will pay for itself in just 4–6 years, and from then on will continue to deliver energy savings and carbon reductions for decades to come.
It’s the end of the financial year so we’re off to count our stock over 3 warehouses during today and tomorrow. It’s a great opportunity to get a photo of our office & warehouse teams all together with our directors gary and Chris. Only a few of the whole team are missing including our Technical Manager Peter who’s visiting a fabricator in GB, and our drivers who are all over Ireland and further afield this morning delivering to our valued customers. We will be back to normal and open for business at 7.30am Monday 31st. #apsteam
