UAP strengthens senior management team
As a company keen to invest in its people, UAP Limited is pleased to announce that it has strengthened its senior management team with three internal promotions. The appointments are just some of the changes that the door hardware solutions specialist is implementing as part of its plans for growth.
Julian Roberts, formerly Test Centre Manager, takes on the role of Product Certification Manager. John McLoughlin has been promoted to the role of Technical Services Director and Kamila Kasperowicz, formerly Marketing Manager is now Marketing Director; both John and Kamila will also sit on the UAP Operations Board.
Julian is now responsible for all product testing, certification, product safety and customer testing. His new role aims to develop the company’s objective to develop innovative products that meet even the most stringent of industry regulations.
John will head up all new product development and oversee anything to do with product performance such as testing and safety. During his time at UAP, John has been instrumental in designing some of the company’s unique and industry-leading products, including the revolutionary Soterian TS008 Slim Letterplate. Commenting on his new role, John said: “In the twilight of my career, I find myself doing a job I love, with marvellous colleagues and in a company that has easily the best work atmosphere and leadership I have ever experienced. I still attack each day with the same sense of purpose I have always had, determined to make a positive difference. On top of all that, I am still learning.”
Kamila is now responsible for all kinds of marketing, branding and sustainability. A member of the UAP team for seven years since joining as Graphic Designer, she has successfully helped the company develop with her artwork, graphic design and more. Under Kamila’s guidance, UAP will continue to implement environmentally friendly initiatives, such as completely discontinuing using plastics in all product packaging. Speaking of her appointment, Kamila said: “I am delighted to accept the position of Marketing Director. I look forward to the additional responsibilities and challenges my new role will bring. These are exciting times for UAP and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”
Commenting on the promotions, David Jennings, founder and CEO of UAP, said: “There are many promotional opportunities at UAP for anyone who has the drive and determination. Julian, John and Kamila’s new roles are well deserved due to their continued hard work, dedication and ability. I am proud to have them as members of our team and wish them every success.”
He continued: “Our aim is to have a very strong and diverse Operations Board of Directors representing all areas of our business and every person within our business. The Board will be all the stronger with the addition of John and Kamila.”
Additional appointments to the UAP Operations Board will follow shortly.
