Universal Trade Frames has confirmed the appointment of Richard Hammond to its board of directors.
Richard joined the manufacturer of products including the Residence Collection, Solidor, and the Spectus Vertical Sliding Sash Window, as Sales Director at the beginning of this year.
Brian Kruger, Managing Director and founder said that in the six months since his appointment Richard had “completely transformed our [Universal Trade Frames] sales and marketing operations from the ground up”.
He said: “He is the most professional and knowledgeable individual we have ever had in this role. Over the past six months, he has made a remarkable impact on our marketing, branding, and market communication.
“We now have a strong marketing presence, which is set to improve even further despite a challenging marketplace.
“Richard is fully dedicated to the future of this business. Thanks to the groundwork he has implemented, we are well-positioned to seize upcoming opportunities.”
With extensive sector experience, including a series of sales roles with hardware specialists Mila and Winlock, as well as more than a decade served in sales and marketing roles with other leading fabricators, Richard said the opportunities for Universal Trade Frames and its customers, were huge.
He said: “Opportunities to join a company with such a strong manufacturing pedigree but also an embedded focus on quality and service, are exceptionally rare.
“We have an exceptionally committed team and a focussed and premium product offer, fully aligned to the direction of travel of the market.
“Where we stand out is that that we don’t manufacture a single premium product but provide a single source of supply for a comprehensive premium offering, with plans to further expand it as we head into the autumn.
“With a genuine commitment from the owners and senior management team to redefine expectations of service, we and our customers have a very exciting time ahead.”
