Hunter Douglas Expands Sales Team

Hunter Douglas has appointed two new façade sales specialists to support the company's expanding UK market.

Chris Wallis (below left) has been appointed to cover the north of England, while Paul Turner (below right) will become the company's first dedicated sales representative in Scotland for five years.

 

Both new appointees have a long pedigree in the sector, having worked for some of the biggest names in construction, including several of Hunter Douglas's biggest competitors in the façades and sun control market.

Chris Wallis previously spent more than three years in a sales role at Hunter Douglas and has now returned after an absence of 10 years.

Paul Turner, based in Perthshire, originally trained as a mechanical engineer before building a successful career in sales and cladding.

The expansion of Hunter Douglas's sales force is largely the result of increased orders in Scotland and northern England. The firm has adjusted the coverage areas of some of its existing area sales managers to cater for the strengthened team.

Andrew Lee, UK general manager of Staffordshire-based Hunter Douglas Facade & Sun Control Systems, said: ‘The high calibre of candidates we have managed to attract to these new roles reflects the excellent reputation of Hunter Douglas products.

‘We've always refused to compromise on quality and we will continue to strive to provide both the very best architectural products and the very best advice and after-sales support from our team.

‘I'm delighted to see Chris returning to Hunter Douglas after 10 years, and I know Paul is equally keen to make an impression in the Scottish market. Scotland has been a great success story recently, and this new position reflects the level of enquiries we are receiving from north of the border.’
