Penrith's North Lakes NLG Window Systems has taken a prestigious industry award.

The company, based in Hartness Road, took the best new member prize from Network VEKA, an organisation representing the best in window installation.

Head of partner programmes for VEKA, Karen Lund, added: “Best new member is such a special award because it announces to everyone that you're here and you've got the Network VEKA message spot on."
