David, formerly Technical Manager for Sapa Building Systems, is another long-standing and respected voice within the fenestration industry.
Since 1990, David has had a growing involvement with trade associations including British Standards, the Construction Products Association, the Glass and Glazing Federation and the CWCT.
A strong advocate of co-operation between trade associations, David is also an active member of the European Aluminium Association Alubuild technical committee, helping to ensure that European Standards bring real benefits to the UK market.
David commented: "As Technical Officer for the CAB, my aim will be to disseminate to our members the relevant technical issues that have the potential to affect their businesses now and in the future".
