Magden builds management team
13th May 2014

Building products distributor Magden is strengthening its management team as the company readies itself for further growth. 

David Maybank, who boasts almost three decades’ experience in the plastic building products industry, has joined the Manchester-headquartered company as its commercial manager.

The move has seen David join forces once again with a former colleague – Magden’s commercial director Laurence Hicks. 

Having worked together in two companies previously, Laurence explained he was ‘delighted’ to have the opportunity to work with David again. “I’ve worked with David for 15 years in other companies, and I know his customer support expertise and technical knowledge will be a great addition to the business. 

“David’s experience of this industry covers both manufacturing and distribution, so he has a great understanding of the issues our customers and suppliers face, as well as exceptional product knowledge.”

Magden, which has four branches in Manchester, Cleckheaton, Rotherham, and Birtley, has built a reputation as one of the country’s leading suppliers for double-glazing and roofline installers.  

With a wide range of stock and an emphasis on customer service, the company’s client base has grown far outside its North of England origins.

David Maybank said: “Having worked in the industry for 29 years, I’ve always admired Magden’s emphasis on stock and product delivery, which is truly second to none. This focus on customer service has helped the company build a client base right across the UK. They really are the ‘people who make a difference’.

“With its reputation and potential, I knew the opportunity to join the company was too good to miss. Working with Laurence, my focus will be on growing Magden’s client base and introducing new products to customers.”
