TWO NEW STARTERS AND ONE MILESTONE ANNIVERSARY
» CHRIS ALDERSON , Edgetech ’ s respected Managing Director , is marking his five year anniversary at the company . Chris joined the world-renowned warm-edge spacer manufacturer back in 2016 , after more than twenty years spent in a series of senior roles at adhesive and sealant experts Bostik .
Under Chris ’ leadership , Edgetech has embarked on an intensive period of new product development , which has already yielded results with many exciting new product innovations in the pipeline . Initially , in addition to running Edgetech ’ s British operations from the company ’ s Coventry base , he also oversaw its business in the Asia Pacific region . More recently , he ’ s assumed leadership of Edgetech ’ s European arm , based in Heinsberg , Germany .
Chris comments : “ I was fortunate to have an excellent foundation to build on , and assisted by dozens of dedicated and passionate employees , we ’ ve been able to continue Edgetech ’ s long legacy at the forefront of IGU innovation .
“ The last year in particular has demonstrated the resilience and adaptability of the Edgetech workforce , and thanks both to them and incredibly supportive Edgetech customers around the country .
“ Going forward , we ’ ll be continuing to push the boundaries of warm-edge spacer technology , help our customers improve their efficiency and productivity , and raise the profile of the fantastic ( and sometimes sadly undervalued ) work of the British IG sector .”
One of Chris ’ s top priorities has been continual investment not just in products , but also people and customer support , as such , Edgetech have also kicked off 2021 by welcoming two new recruits .
Hamzah Sheikh has strengthened the company ’ s finance team as a Trainee Accountant , bringing with him a broad experience gained in accounts roles in a number of private and public organisations . Meanwhile , Tracey Powell has joined as Customer Services Administrator in Edgetech ’ s fastgrowing Customer Fulfilment Team . Tracey ’ s wealth of customer service experience will prove invaluable as the company continues to improve upon its successful ‘ customers at the centre ’ initiative .
