Hardware specialist VBH has announced the further expansion of its external sales team with a new appointment, and a promotion of a head office veteran with 15 years’ service to VBH to her name.

Mark Frain has joined the company in the new position of National Business Development Manager.

Mark is vastly experienced, having held senior sales and management positions at high profile fenestration companies during three decades in the window and door industry.

Mark has an in depth knowledge and understanding of door and window products, having spent much of his career specialising in hardware, taking in design, manufacture, and sales.

His recent experience at both PVC-U and aluminium systems houses has reportedly given Mark a fully rounded knowledge of our industry and its major players, which VBH advise will be of huge benefit to its customers.

The company has also announced the internal promotion of Tamara Bridgland to the position of Customer Service Supervisor.

The promotion is said to recognise the hard work and high levels of efficiency that Tamara has displayed daily since joining VBH in 2011. During that time she has become a highly valued member of the company’s Gillingham-based Customer Service team.

The new role sees Tamara provide direct support to VBH’s Customer Service Manager, Key Account Manager – East England, and, as reported above, their newly appointed National Business Development Manager.

Tamara will continue to be responsible for her existing portfolio of accounts.

VBH advised that these new appointments, along with other recent additions to the field sales and technical teams, further strengthen the company’s drive into 2026, their 45th year of presence in the UK.
