AluK has made two appointments to the UK Board, with Paul Booth joining as R&D Director and James Schools as Finance Director.
Paul Booth, an award-winning product designer with more than 40 years’ experience in aluminium system design, says the opportunity to join AluK and lead a complete transformation of its product range ahead of the challenges presented by Future Homes was one he couldn’t turn down.
“Under Russell Yates’ leadership, AluK is a reinvigorated business in the UK with exciting plans and substantial backing from the European Group in terms of investment and resources,” he said.
“I’m already working with Russell and the rest of the engineering and technical team to remodel the new product development programme so that it is quicker, more streamlined and more customer focused.”
James Schools has 14 years of finance experience working with manufacturing entrepreneurs. He said: “I want to see us working more closely in partnership with our customers, focusing on how to improve the customer experience, whilst also re-investing into the continued evolution and growth of the business, and I have lots of new initiatives in mind to help us to do that.”
Russell Yates added: “This is an exciting time to be an AluK customer. As Paul and James’ appointments demonstrate, we’re committed to leading the way in aluminium, giving both established aluminium fabricators and newcomers to this sector really compelling reasons to do business with us.”
