Two new directors at VEKA

Burnley-based PVC-U systems supplier The VEKA UK Group has made two new appointments to its board in Dawn Stockell, marketing director, and Neil Evans, sales director.

Neil joins The VEKA UK Group from within the fenestration industry, having been sales director at Velux for the past decade.

“Aligned to my experience, my responsibilities include product & proposition management, marketing communication together with research & insight areas of The VEKA UK Group, to deliver a focused marketing strategy for The VEKA UK Group.

Neil’s previous experience will stand him in particularly good stead for his position within The VEKA UK Group: “I've been involved in quite a few things including procurement, project management, running a large call centre, developing sales strategies, defining standards, working with lean in sales and customer service and developing an industry-leading sales team. I'm sure that most of that should come in handy!

“As well as the responsibilities that come as being a member of the Board of Directors, primarily I will be responsible for the field and office-based sales team, plus customer services, ensuring that our approach is progressive and that we can identify and support growth opportunities in the market.”
