Shaped frame and arching specialist, Universal Arches, says it is putting its ‘females to the fore’ when it comes to customer service, sales support and FIT Show planning.
With an increasing number of women involved in the fenestration industry, Universal Arches says it is giving Kayleigh Pritchard and Caitlin Whalley ‘more wide-ranging responsibilities’. Both of them came straight from college with Kayleigh now in her ninth year and Caitlin in her third with the specialist frame manufacturer.
Leon Day, managing director of Universal Arches commented: “Both Kayleigh and Caitlin now have more proactive roles in the business and their experience and skillsets fully justify this. I would expect that more women will come to the fore in this industry given the statistics and opportunities. We are starting to see more women such as Clare O’Hara at the Epwin Group now also taking major roles in what has been a male dominated environment for so many years and it is a welcome change in dynamics for modern society, as it is at Universal Arches.”
