NEW APPOINTMENT
FOR ASSA ABLOY
SECURITY SOLUTIONS
ANNOUNCING
DEDICATED
TRADE FOCUS
ASSA ABLOY Security
Solutions has appointed a
new Managing Director as it
announces its decision to focus
solely on trade customers.
Eryl Jones (pictured) has
been appointed to the role of
Managing Director of ASSA
ABLOY Security Solutions,
with his predecessor, David
Wigglesworth heading up the
new specification division of
ASSA ABLOY UK.
In the year in which the
company celebrates its 20th
anniversary, the announcement
from ASSA ABLOY Security
Solutions comes at a time of
change for the Midlands-based
manufacturer.
The restructure of the Security
Solutions division, which includes
Adams Rite, ASSA, Trimec® and
UNION, is designed to continue
to build on the success of the
well-known product brands.
Under the leadership of Eryl,
whose previous position as
Commercial Manager at ASSA
ABLOY has provided him
with extensive experience and
knowledge of the trade sector
including builders’ merchants,
OEM, architectural ironmongers
and locksmith channels, the team
will now have increased focus on
developing its relationships and
offering for the trade.
Commenting on his
appointment, Eryl said:
“Traditionally ASSA ABLOY
Security Solutions has always had
a very strong product portfolio,
with heritage brands such as
UNION and industry leaders like
Adams Rite. In recent years, we
have been adapting to the increase
in projects requiring a total
solution, leveraging the combined
strength of all our brands and
products. We considered the
time was right to create a separate
specification offering and division
where this market could be fully
explored.
“Consequently, its creation has
led to a renewed focus on our core
trade customers. As a division we
will now solely be working with
our trade customers and one of
the things I’m keen to progress in
my role as Managing Director is
realising the full potential of our
brands and defining a product
portfolio that helps our customers
win business in new markets and
create new revenue streams. “We
will continue to work closely
with the specification division
to deliver the best service and
value for our customers, and I
am personally looking forward to
exploring new opportunities with
our trade customers.”
