The company overall has grown at a fairly steady 10% annually in recent years, which is good performance by any standards, but architectural ironmongery sales are set to exceed that figure for the foreseeable future.' Harry Hendry has now assembled a team of five at Hafele's existing furniture fittings sales outlet at Bourne Court in Woodford, Essex, and for 2005 AI now has its own ground floor suite of offices, limited but increasing product displays and its own entrance.
Harry's team comprises Jeremy Klein, product manager on sliding door gear; John Finch, estimator, who had worked with Harry for several years previously at a south London competitor; and Kay Mason and Kate Ansell on in-house sales.
The latter are both on the Guild of Architectural Ironmongery training courses for Dip GAI certificates to match those of other team members and to build 'structured career paths' for themselves.
'I've worked in architectural ironmongery since I left college in 1971,' says Harry, 'and I made the board in my last two posts.
Hafele's range of products is superb and growing all the time and it's also the slickest run company that I've worked with !'
