Ventrolla appoints new Commercial Sales Manager

Ventrolla, a specialist in heritage restoration and renovation of timber sash and casement windows, has appointed Paul Lyon-Hayes as Commercial Sales Manager to increase visibility of the brand and drive growth in the commercial sector.

An experienced appointment

Paul brings with him over 30 years of experience in the timber window industry, with a focus on new build and refurbishment markets. Prior to joining Ventrolla, Paul was actively involved in the research and development of timber window design and construction to meet the evolving building regulations and to improve thermal performance.

Leveraging his experience in the heritage property and window sector Paul will be leading the charge for sustainability. He is focused on emphasising Ventrolla’s ability to retrofit and upgrade existing windows as opposed to replacing them, preventing unnecessary landfill waste whilst also preserving period features and building aesthetics. He is also focusing on developing new energy efficiency solutions that can be implemented in heritage properties to enhance thermal performance.

‘Dedicated to their craft’

Commenting on his appointment, Paul said: ‘What first attracted me to Ventrolla was the specialised products and technology it has created to enhance sash windows for homeowners. It is something you don’t see at other businesses in the industry and truly sets them apart as an innovator and market leader. The opportunity to lead the commercial sales side of the business and take it to new levels was something I could not turn down. Following the rebrand it is a very exciting time at Ventrolla, and joining the business was the perfect next step for my career.”

“What I have seen in my first few days at Ventrolla has solidified my opinion, not only are the products and technology market leading, but the people are truly dedicated to their craft. The level of detail and intricacy that goes into every order is second to none.”   

Mark Flanagan, Managing Director at Ventrolla, added: “Bringing Paul onboard was the obvious next step to continue our recent brand refresh. His experience in the timber window industry combined with his drive to push our unique proposition will really help drive forward the next phase of growth and development.”
