» GARNALEX WELCOMES PAUL
Greenaway as Sheerline Area Sales and
Technical Manager – South East. Paul will
introduce Sheerline systems to aluminium
and PVC-U fabricators to build sales in the
region.
Paul has worked in the industry for
nearly 34 years. Having started his career
at his family’s fabrication company, Paul
moved to fabricator GJB Developments.
Paul worked with them for 21 years on a
variety of roles, including seven years looking
after technical support and product testing,
Production Manager, and Factory Manager.
Paul was recruited to be ALUK’s Area Sales
Manager for London and the South East,

aluminium.
Paul says: “There’s a huge appetite in the
market for aluminium. The market is growing,
and a lot of PVC-U fabricators are seeing the
potential. I accepted the job without seeing the
window system, because I knew with Roger
behind it, it would be truly ground-breaking.”
Roger Hartshorn adds: “Paul’s background
puts him in a great position. He has a natural
understanding of fabricators’ needs, especially
in setting up aluminium production.”
