Centor to Host Free Training Day in September

The Joinery Network (TJN) affiliate member Centor is running a free training day on 4 September 2025 for network members at Centor’s UK HQ in Birmingham.

The hands-on training day will focus on Centor’s S2 and S4 ranges, providing TJN members expert guidance on installation, product knowledge, and sales support.

The dedicated training day, titled “Unlock Profits and New Business with Centor’s Premium Blinds and Screens,” is with Centor’s UK Sales Manager Rob Horsman.

He explained: “Centor has recently launched a new insect screen system, and we are hosting an exclusive free installation training event for TJN members.

“Installer members that include bi-fold, sliding, or external doors in their product ranges can enhance their offering with Centor’s integrated insect screens and blinds. By becoming a Certified Centor Installer, they are able to expand their product portfolio, increase customer satisfaction, and unlock new revenue streams.

“Centor offers a wide range of member-exclusive benefits to the network including free training, expert technical support, and easy-to-use online quotation and ordering.”

Andy Ball, Director at The Joinery Network, added: “The long-standing collaboration between Centor and TJN offers our network members training, support, and access to Centor’s premium products. We know that by offering hands-on training, it gives members the confidence to sell and fit the new products. It’s just part of the complete support package offered to our network members.”

Some spaces are still available at the training day on 4 September at Centor’s HQ in Birmingham. Members can contact either Teresa at TJN on 0333 3449895 or Rob at Centor on 07817 694040.
