Hazlemere often receives kind words of appreciation from our commercial customers in respect of the standard of work we provide and the quality of our product range; it’s always heartening to know that so many people who utilise Hazlemere Commercial are pleased with the quality of our products, installation and service.
However, it isn’t very often that you receive such adulation from the photographer you employ to take high-quality professional images of a myriad of Hazlemere completed commercial installations scattered over the South of England.
Dino Belvedere has been supplying creative commercial advertising photography for the past 32 years across the whole of the UK, and is well accustomed to working on behalf of companies associated with the home improvement industry where he has gained an excellent reputation.
His status within our field made him an obvious appointment as we sought to establish a fresh suite of imagery for our website and entire stock of offline marketing material. We have twice used him since he write the letter below, not just because he wrote a nice letter, but because he is an excellent photographer, highly professional and a joy to work with.
There’s no doubting that photography has a fundamental role to play in helping us promote and communicate our portfolio to customers and Dino was extremely impressed with what he saw on his travels.
You can read below the letter he sent to our Sales Director following his first set visits to completed Hazlemere Commercial (which included Bucks County Hall featured on the right) and some domestic installations.

Dear Mr Beale.
“You may remember that back in April 2014, you commissioned me to take professional photographs of 24 different properties that your company had previous installed aluminium and UPVC double glazed products at.
Over a four day period I had the privilege to take images of a dozen double glazed conservatories, hundreds of windows and doors, as well as County Hall in Aylesbury, where I understand your commercial division replaced all the windows with £2.3m worth of aluminium double glazing.
I have subsequently been looking through all the photos I took and three things stand out. Firstly, the high standard of the aluminium and UPVC products, secondly the excellent quality of the craftsmanship and installation, and thirdly how genuinely pleased the dozens of customers I met were with their new products, the installation teams, as well as the overall service they received from your company.
Over the years I’ve taken many thousands of photos of replacement windows, doors and new conservatories, so thought you’d like to know how much I thought your company is up there with the best in terms of the whole package you clearly offer your customers. You must be very proud of your sales consultants, surveyors and fitters, who all came in for praise during my four days photographing the products you had installed. It was a very pleasant and memorable week for me, all for the right reasons. Many congratulations on having such a successful family business.”
Yours sincerely
Dino Belvedere
Commercial Photographer
Here is another unsolicited letter we received more recently from a school’s Head Teacher following the completion of a replacement windows and doors refurbishment programme in 2016 (see completed installation image below):
“I wanted to write formally to thank you both and your team at Hazlemere Window Company for a seamless process of installing new windows into some of our existing buildings at Burnham Grammar School. Your handling of the whole process has been exemplary and the service level at each stage was outstanding.
As we are now aware, some of our existing buildings had asbestos which was not expected and your approach to finding solutions, being pro-active, minimising disruption and delays and keeping the project within budget and on time showed that each member of your team from the Directors to the fitters were aligned, focused and had the same ethos.
Quite simply, your costing was the most competitive, your product was the best quality and your service and your workmanship was the best in class. I would look to use Hazlemere in projects going forward and would be happy to recommend you to future customers. With best regards”
Dr Andrew Gillespie – Headteacher
Burnham Grammar School
