Jason Goes National
» AFTER TWO AND A HALF YEARS AT
profine UK as area manager for the south of
the UK, Jason Scrivens has been appointed as
national fabricated sales manager, following
the successful purchase of essential assets from
Aperture Group in May, 2020. His role will
also involve the liaison between customer and
technical departments, as profine puts in place
a five-year product development strategy with
the investment, resources and expertise of
profine Group.
He commented: “The future for our
business in the UK now looks better
than ever and so the job is now to help
realise our considerable potential, so it’s a
perfect time to be a partner of profine and
KÖMMERLING.”
The new role is a perfect fit for
Jason, given his previous experience in
manufactured windows and doors, including
vertically sliding sash windows. His new
remit will be to help ignite sales of the
Evolve sash window which will benefit from
the exclusive Greenline compound from
profine and sales of fabricated WarmCore
products.
