New division head

Former Universal Arches managing director, Leon Day, has joined Kaliber Group as head of its PVC division for KAT. He will also continue as a consultant to Kaliber’s recently acquired Universal Arches.

Based at the KAT headquarters in Cheshire, Leon will drive product development as well as sales and marketing strategies for the group’s PVC offering, focusing immediately on KAT’s range of residential door and window products to meet ongoing large volume requirements in the UK and Ireland.

Leon said: “I am delighted to follow Universal Arches to Kaliber, to expand the benefits of this partnership. In my new wider group role, we plan to hone our existing full range of products, to meet all spec and price requirements of our diverse customer audience.

“With Universal Arches’ niche service offering, the company marries perfectly with Kaliber to allow us to provide a one-stop-shop for all doors and windows PVC.”

David Richards, chairman, Kaliber Group, said: “We now aim to bring all our companies in line with the national service offering with our dedicated delivery fleet and pre and after-sales customer services to ensure our customers come back to us for every requirement, be that a single build project or a whole development.

“With Leon’s commitment, we are significantly strengthened and we are on target to exceed expectations.”
