Kömmerling is supporting customers with its 2025 UK Vision and an expanding portfolio of products, but our PVC-U offering remains a core focus us too. At the helm of selling the complete range are Gareth Parton and Karl Williamson, Sales Directors. And more recently, the team has been further strengthened with the addition of Andy Laird.
Andy is joining the team as Area Sales Manager for the South of the UK and brings with him a wealth of experience in the fenestration industry. “I have worked in the sector for almost 30 years,” says Andy, “including positions with some leading brands such as Carl F GroupCo, Fab & Fix and Fuhr UK. I was therefore very aware of Kömmerling and the quality of its products so when I saw the position of Area Sales Manager come up, I was keen to apply.
“The company has an impressive PVC-U extrusion factory and showroom that clearly demonstrate the benefits of the top-quality products it makes including the Kömmerling C70, C70 flush window and door system, O70, Greenline which ensures there are no lead-based stabilisers in the virgin PVC-U material and Kömmerling 76.
“There is no denying that the market is challenging right now, so I am particularly pleased to be selling top quality products from an established brand in the PVC-U sector, with a clear eye on the future with genuinely unique and innovative PVC-U systems. The company’s entire PVC-U range offers excellent energy efficiency and acoustic performance alongside a sleek and stylish aesthetic with clean and smooth sightlines.”
Karl Williamson, Sales Director for the South adds: “We had a lot of strong candidates apply for the Area Sales Manager position because Kömmerling has such a good reputation for delivering technically better PVC-U window and door systems, for investing in and growing its portfolio of products, and for being a genuinely nice place to work.
“Andy stood out from the other applicants for his extensive knowledge of the industry, but he is also a genuinely nice guy so we knew he would fit in well with the rest of the team and of course get on well with our customer base. Andy is already proving to be a great team player and quickly brought in his first new customer, Ambassador Windows and Home Improvements, who we are thrilled to have on board. We are confident we made a good choice bringing Andy into the team, and look forward to seeing him develop in the role.”
When he’s not selling for Kömmerling, Andy is a keen football fan supporting Derby County, and enjoys a wide range of sports including F1, Cricket and Darts. However, as the technical team and Andy’s new German colleagues found out recently, he might be better off retiring the darts!
