Schiedel Chimney Systems, manufacturer of flue ducting, stoves and ventilation systems in Europe, has unveiled a dual brand strategy with gas flue expert Ontop, and changes to the management team to accommodate this new approach.
Phil Lowe, who was responsible for customer service, training and OEM sales has been promoted to sales director, and David Wright is now product and export sales manager.
Phil will take the lead in the development of sales in both the residential and non-residential sectors, continuing to work with existing customers, as well as exploring new markets driven by Schiedel and Ontop’s combined offering.
David has worked for Schiedel for 35 years and will be using his considerable experience to help rationalise the new product range, as well as introducing innovations to the UK market.
He said: “This latest collaboration provides a great opportunity to move into new product ranges and applications, allowing both Schiedel and Ontop to develop innovative solutions. I am looking forward to helping both companies move forward with their ambitions, both in the UK and Europe.”
