Chris Armes is Liniar’s new design and development director.
Chris Armes began his journey at Liniar more than 15 years ago as a young apprentice in the tool room.
Chris learned quickly and having spent time in different departments, decided his career path would be best focused on innovation, design and bringing new products to market.
Martin Thurley, group managing director, said: “Chris has long been an integral part of our design and development team, helping to bring to market numerous Liniar products that would win awards and set the standard for the industry. These products include the Queen’s Award-winning ModLok bifold door and the UK’s first Passivhaus-accredited PVCU EnergyPlus90 window.
“This story is yet another in Liniar’s history of apprentices growing into something incredible, with Chris being one of many apprentices to rise through the ranks to senior positions within the company. It’s an excellent example of what can be achieved through apprenticeships and investing in people for the long term.”
