Kris Bennell, contracts director at Associated Steel Window Services, is announced as the new President of the Steel Window Association in succession to Darren Lloyd of Govette Windows, who completed his six-year tenure of the role.
Kris said of his appointment, “The SWA is a great source of information for architects and consumers alike; and we are just launching a new website to make accessing our members easier. We are also constantly evolving, developing and testing our products to keep us at the forefront of the building and the all-important refurbishment industries.
“I am the youngest SWA president to be appointed and come from a family which has not just been in the steel window industry for many years, we have also been members of the SWA for many years; so I hope to bring vigour to the cause”
The SWA represents members’ views and interests in British and European standards bodies, centres of window technology, and other related trade associations, and plays an active role in the formulation of new and revised standards. SWA members have exclusive access to a range of collectively developed energy- rated systems which are compliant with building regulations and that are recognised by the British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC). The SWA also works in cooperation with both the British and European standards agencies, window research bodies and other influential organisations; including Fensa and as mentioned above, the Construction Products Association and the Glass & Glazing Federation.
