John King has returned to Carl F Groupco as national sales manager, after previously working at the firm for eight years as a regional sales manager. With over 30 years’ experience gained across a wide range of door and window industry management, technical, sales and hands-on roles, John arrives back at the hardware distribution company to head up its nationwide team of regional sales managers (RSMs).
After reportedly starting his career in fabrication in the early days of PVC-U, John moved to a technical services post. He went on to take the positions of production director and head of a commercial installation operation.
John said: “Carl F Groupco has a widespread reputation across the industry as a highly professional hardware operation with excellent products, systems and processes. The commitment to service and investment in initiatives, such as SmartSecure, keep the company at the forefront of the fittings supply industry.
“A large number of people have worked for Carl F Groupco for a very long time and it is good to be back among friends. We are a close-knit organisation and are passionate about what we do. There are no closed doors and we focus on what’s best for the customer by developing long-term relationships.”
