CDW Systems has continued its policy of promoting from within with the appointment of Aron Steele to Team leader on its bi-fold line.

The 33-year-old has been with the Gloucester-based company for more than five years on the shop floor and put himself forward for the position when it needed to be filled.

Among his responsibilities, Aron will be involved in the trialling of the AluK Luminia F82 Slimline Bi-Fold Door. CDW Systems has fabricated Aluk’s BSF70 folding/sliding door for years but is looking at introducing the F82 due to its thermal properties CDW looks to add AluK F82 bi-fold option | The Glazine (the-glazine.com).

“The F82 is a much more thermally efficient and modern bi-fold with better sightlines, which is what customers continue to want, and we are lining up training for that in the factory,” said Aron. “It won’t take over from the BSF70, but we are trying to be prepared for 2025 and want to be able to offer customers an upgrade if they want one.”

Group Chairman Jeremy Phillips said of Aron’s promotion: “He has worked his way up from the bottom and he put himself forward for the role and all credit to him as he’s well and truly seized it and is doing incredibly well already.

“The skills shortage is a challenge in the industry but, while it’s important to recruit it’s equally important to retain your best staff and promoting from within is something we have always tried to do at CDW.”
