MIDLANDS AREA SALES MANAGER
‘JUMPED AT THE CHANCE’
» » BRINGING OVER 30 YEARS OF
experience working in the Glass and Glazing
industry, both in manufacturing and sales
roles, Ian Duckworth has joined Thermoseal
Group as Midlands Area Sales Manager.
Ian says: “I have been at Thermoseal Group
a few months now and would like to say how
impressed I have been at the respect that the
previous Sales Manager, Colin Cook, has built
up with our customers having brought vast
knowledge and experience to the role. His
shoes have not been easy to fill, but I’m happy
to have accepted the challenge and will do
everything I can to continue with the excellent
work he has done whilst bringing my own
personality to the mix.
“I have known members of the team for
years having met them at events and industry
socials; where the camaraderie of the Group
and their relationship across the industry has
always been evident. When the opportunity
was presented to me following the retirement
of a long-standing member of the sales team, I
jumped at the chance.”
