Perfect balance
Delving deeper into Vado ’ s unique place in the industry , Andy explains what truly makes the company stand out from its
competitors . “ I believe that Vado ’ s core values embody our competitive edge . We manage to strike the perfect balance : Vado is big enough to take decisive action , yet small enough to care . Indeed , whether it ’ s following up on deliveries or providing exceptional aftersales support on the rare occasions where things do go wrong , we ensure things are set right . While we may not boast the size or sheer recognition of other brands , our expertise in the bathroom industry is unrivalled . From architects and designers to skilled plumbers and installers , as well as our valued network of retailers , distributors , and housebuilders , all would vouch for Vado and enjoy enduring relationships with us ,” he enlightens .

Sustainable journey
Throughout its operations , Vado has implemented various sustainable practices , which Andy tells us more about . “ Although Vado engages in manufacturing and assembly , we also work with a global supply chain . We take pride in our partnerships with suppliers who prioritize sustainability , whether through ever-increasing amounts of power from sustainable sources , brass recycling , or even the reuse of the sand utilized in casting processes . Our commitment to sustainability also extends to product design , where we focus on creating products with lower carbon footprints , such as our Cameo line , which boasts a 25 percent reduction compared to its predecessor . Moreover , last year saw the completion of the transition of our company cars to full electric or hybrid models where more practical .
