Martin Dickie is new MD of Residence Collection and Window Widgets

DW3 Products Group has appointed Martin Dickie as managing director of Residence Collection and Window Widgets, the DW3 Window Division.

Martin has over 20 years’ experience in PVC windows and doors. Having started as product manager with timber door maker Leaderflush & Shapland, he developed large scale, multi-product social housing, PFI and Partnering projects at Heywood Williams Group.

As a consultant, over three years, he assisted a successful management buy-in and growth at Dorwin, and for two years he helped Nationwide Windows prepare for a successful buyout.

Martin was present at the inception of Door Stop, working closely on various projects until its sale to Masonite Group three years ago. As business unit director at Door Stop he ran and integrated the company into Masonite UK, taking sales from £26m to £38m in two years before becoming business development director at Masonite UK. Most recently, as general manager of National Hickman, another Masonite UK company, he transformed supply and systems.

Reporting to CEO Gareth Mobley, Martin will drive Residence Collection through its next stage of development.

“Demand for R9, R7 and R2 is growing extremely fast, and the DW3 team is working hard to transform systems, stock management, operations and logistics at Residence HQ in Gloucester to meet the demand,” Gareth said. “We have been developing our relationship with Martin over 18 months and we are delighted he is joining us in this key role.”
