As a company with tremendous ambition, Towens were keen to establish a website integrated with e-commerce services to help offer builders and homeowners across the Southwest a skip hire service that can be accessed remotely and efficiently – one of the first service of its kind for skip hire prospects throughout the South West.

Towens has supported its customers across the Southwest for over 30 years, helping them reduce their impact on the environment by recycling as much as possible, avoid landfill and provide personal levels of customer service. It is a growing business focused on being both smart and sustainable – investing in its people, plant, and equipment to maintain its position in this highly regulated industry.
Towens wanted a website with e-commerce functionality, so that their customer base of builders and homeowners across the Southwest could book and pay for skip hire services at their convenience, anywhere and at any time.
The website has a wider offering than just skips, so as part of the challenge we needed to showcase various different services that Towens offer. The decision was made to make the pages on the website colour coded so each service is clear and easy for the website user to navigate.
We have been supporting Towens with their new business strategy and ambitious 2023 goals. Our work kick-started with refreshing the Towens brand without radically changing this long-established brand, designed to help communicate their great service to prospect clients as well as portray a strong image of their business and help build long-term trust.
Supporting the rebrand success, we also worked to upgrade their existing website. Our web developers crafted a responsive, clean website, complete with e-commerce functionality which integrates with their CRM package. This is also supported by accompanying SEO services to help improve the website’s visibility across search engines.
"Partnering with Purplex has been a good call. Thanks to their experience and in-depth industry knowledge the team really understands our business – and the results back that up. Since we started working with Purplex last year, we have seen a large increase in our website traffic as well as increases in our targeted revenue streams.
When it comes to building and construction products, Purplex knows the industry and what works. We know that with their support, Towens can continue to keep pushing forward and achieve our objectives."
“They’re just a really nice team to work with – it’s like an extension of our own team. Or even, more so – it’s LIKE they’re our own team.”
“Everyone that I’ve spoken to within Purplex has been really friendly, very helpful and they all have a great all-round knowledge of the industry – you’re not spending loads of time and effort having to train people.”
“Purplex in my experience have done really good work in SEO, the increase in website visits, click throughs and eventual orders is up is about 50% up on last year, so the website is really, really working.”
“It’s been an amazing transformation in terms of not only the growth of the business in terms of orders-in, but profitability as well.”
“We made the decision to switch agencies to Purplex a few years ago, and have never looked back. Our business has grown beyond expectations, and Purplex have been with us every step of the way. We can’t wait to see what the future holds.”

“Dekko has grown from £6m to £20+ over the last 8 years and we simply couldn’t have achieved it without Purplex. Our brand is well recognised and the exposure we get through the press, social media and online consistently puts us in front of good quality prospects.”
