TENNIS FAN LOOKING FORWARD
TO ‘ACE’ RETIREMENT
» APEER’S NIGEL EVANS IS READY
for retirement, with Lucie Miller set to take
over his role as Southern Regional Sales
Manager. Nigel, a well-known face in the
industry with over 43 years of experience,
leaves the company after six years. He takes
with him his encyclopaedic knowledge of
people and companies that his colleagues will
miss.
Nigel is looking forward to spending more
time with his family in retirement, having
recently become a grandfather of three, as well
as enjoying more tennis.
Excited to expand her sales role in this area
is Lucie Miller, who joined Apeer in October
from Truedor. She is looking forward to
developing Apeer’s business in the south of
England and introducing more customers
to the comprehensive Apeer door and Lumi
window ranges. Lucie has plenty of products
to introduce customers to, including the
company’s two most recent products: Apeer’s
smooth-skin Silka composite doors which
look just like aluminium and are proving
very popular with customers, and the newest
iteration of its heralded Lumi frameless
windows, Lumi2, for the replacement window
market.

owned business, we have a
strong, shared ethos that places
the well-being and happiness
of our people at the heart of
everything we do. We’re really
proud that our staff turnover is
