Leaders of OWS have hired two new team members: Andy Skinner has been appointed to the senior estimator role and Kevin Hulin has joined the firm, as specification sales manager.
Andy is a City-and-Guilds-qualified carpenter and joiner. He has worked as an installer, surveyor and contracts manager for Solaglass (Saint-Gobain). He has also worked as an estimator within the fire-resistant glazing industry.
With more than 30 years of experience in the window and fenestration industry, Andy is set to bring a wealth of knowledge to OWS that could strengthen the company’s estimating function and support the team’s growing customer base.
Kevin’s appointment is set to bolster the technical sales team at OWS. Kevin has worked within the passive fire industry in a variety of roles, including as a director as well as in technical, sales and marketing roles that had an emphasis on fire-resistant glazing and doors.
For nearly seven years, Kevin chaired the Glass and Glazing Federation’s Fire Resisting Glazing Group, which produced a document titled ‘Best Practice Guide to FR Glazing’. That document is referenced in Approved Document B, we have been told.
OWS specialises in the design, manufacture and installation of aluminium-based, fire-resistant glazed systems. The OWS team has more than 20 years’ experience.
The company’s leaders aim for ambitious growth so that OWS can become a centre of excellence in both internal and external fire-resistant glazing. Read more about OWS on the firm’s dedicated website.
