With 21 years experience, Product Manager Nigel Wood takes on
his new role of Business Development Manager for the company's
Hinge Technology and Building Component subsidiaries with
additional regional responsibility for the north of England and
Scotland. Nigel will be leveraging SFS intec's established presence
in PVC-U and composite doors; while supporting its entry into new
areas - specifically focussing on aluminium and timber sectors.
"There's actually far more hanging on the common hinge than most
homeowners recognise. And as market developments - such as triple
glazing - mean even greater strain will be placed on this vital
support component, the industry has an important job to do in
championing independently tested products that can provide not only
a longer lifespan but improved security benefits too," says
Nigel.
"With this in mind, we've revisited our approach to ensure we're
at the forefront in terms of hinge design and technologies; as well
as taking an industry leading stance on rolling out key messages
surrounding the security and performance aspects that are often
overlooked by the wider market."
Capitalising on similar opportunities arising from changing
industry regulations impacting on the roofing and cladding sector,
Craig Johnson has risen up the ranks to Technical Advisor. A
long-standing specialist on the fastenings side, Craig's new role
has been devised in-line with increasing customer demand for a more
holistic experience.
"Customers require much more than stand-alone product
information in these heavily regulated times. They're looking for
the genuine added-value they need to ensure absolute compliance,"
said Craig. "Failures will commonly occur at the interface but with
direct access to someone with complete understanding of the
product, its application and the required standards that have to be
met, clients can count on complete peace of mind. This is where our
increased technical know-how comes in."
It goes without saying that SFS intec's technical service and
support package provides customers with sound advice and in-depth
product information as standard, but with a dedicated point of
contact committed to technical knowledge share, and a new informed
support into the doors and window sector,
SFS intec is proactively putting changing customer needs at the
core of its offering.
