Tony has been invited to return to Kestrel-BCE by Managing Director Paul Neilson after an eight-year absence from the firm.
The move marks the reforming of an 'old team' to spearhead a new drive for product innovation, improved customer service and distribution, focusing on the specification and new build market.
In his previous career at Kestrel-BCE, Tony pioneered the introduction of several unique PVC-UE roofline products, in particular the K-Wave system of scallop bargeboards with a sealed edge, installed in over 10,000 houses nationwide.
With Paul Neilson at the helm, and a strong UK sales force, Tony believes Kestrel-BCE is well placed to serve a growing customer base: Says Tony: "In a highly competitive market, winning increased market share will be a challenge, but it's one that we believe Kestrel-BCE is now in good shape to achieve".
"We can build on a well-established reputation for quality and value in "fitter-friendly" products with continual product innovation, particularly in the areas of colour match and durability".
Kestrel-BCE is aiming for the highest standards of reliability and responsiveness in customer service, backed by investment in state-of-the-art manufacturing and distribution facilities.
The company's 140,000 sq ft factory in Scunthorpe keeps 100% control of production, raw material sourcing and blending of its PVC-U and PVC-UE profiles, enabling the company to achieve consistent high quality and value through lean manufacturing to ISO 9000 standards.
