Top team named
26th November 2019

Roger Hartshorn’s Garnalex aluminium venture has named more of its top team ready for the launch of its Sheerline window and door system early next year.

Darrell Woodward is UK Sales Manager, with over 35 years working in the aluminium extrusion industry. He said: “Trade extrusion enquiries are coming in fast and we have the potential to expand into so many markets that use extrusion. It’s the most exciting investment in the industry for many years, and there’s no other facility like it in the UK.”

Richard Munyard joins LB Plastics, part of Garner Holdings, as Injection Mould Consultant. With a 30-year career as Managing Director of S&S Plastics, Richard remained with the company when it was sold to Eurocell in 2015 and has worked with Roger on injection moulding requirements for the last 10 years. His priority is overseeing a £750,000 tooling investment in moulding machines, robotics and tools, and co-ordinating between the Garnalex technical team and his contacts in the tooling industry. All Garnalex end caps and accessories will be produced in-house.

Ross Hartshorn, Garnalex Technical Production Director, began his career as an apprentice in tooling design, manufacturing and maintenance at HL Plastics. He now oversees the Garnalex factory development from designing the layout of the new plant, the equipment, tooling and maintenance, to helping design the internal process management system GarnerSyS.

Tracy Edmunds, Hardware Design and Development Engineer, who joined Garnalex after a career with ERA hardware, Winlock and HL Plastics, has been tasked with sourcing and developing a range of complementary hardware for the system. She said: “I’m excited that I’ve joined Garnalex at a time when the industry has caught ‘the aluminium wave’.
