Baxter brought into the Liniar frame
6th January 2015

Liniar is delighted to be able to welcome Alan Baxter to the team as general manager at its Liniar Zoom roof manufacturing division.

Alan, who has a wealth of practical experience in the production of conservatory roofs, replaces Keith Langley who recently emigrated to Australia with his family.

With more than 40 years of involvement in the industry under his belt, Alan is looking forward to continuing the hard work that has already been undertaken and improving output even further.

Alan joins Liniar from Door-Stop International, where he was research and development technician, before that spending 11 years as production manager at Synseal and assisting in the early development of its first roof system.

“I’m a practical-minded man and I fancied a new challenge,” commented Alan on his new appointment.
“Liniar is an exciting company with huge plans for the future and I wanted to be a part of it.

“I like to take a hands-on approach in production. I run a happy ship and I’m an approachable manager. I think that’s a winning formula for success.”

With 2015 promising big changes for Liniar Zoom, MD Roger Hartshorn says: “I chose Alan as the ideal man to lead us forward, manage the transition of relocating to bigger premises and take things on to the next level for Liniar Zoom.
“We’re planning to move the roofing production to the same site as the rest of the Liniar brand once our new 150,000 square foot warehouse is complete. This will enable us to increase output levels and meet the growing demand for the Liniar Zoom roof.”

As well as the move and Alan’s appointment, Liniar is also investing in new roof software and will develop the team further by bringing in Iain Wetton, formerly of First Degree software, in January.

Iain’s role will be to implement and develop the brand new roof design programme, RoofWright – all geared to providing the highest quality conservatory roofs in the shortest time frame.
