VIVALDA Group has announced four new senior appointments.
The supplier of façade products and fabrication services in the UK & Ireland has appointed John Porter as senior specification manager, bringing a wealth of experience to support architects, contractors and specifiers in selecting the right solutions for their projects.
Josh Byrne joins as head of aluminium, taking the lead on one of Vivalda’s fastest-growing product categories. With significant experience in the aluminium façade sector, Vivalda said Josh will be instrumental in driving forward the group’s aluminium strategy — with a particular focus on growing sales of MetSkin, its solid aluminium cladding system.
Emma Davis has been appointed group commercial manager, where she will help to shape commercial strategy and support sales of cladding material and through wall façade components, including the Cedral range by Etex and Viroc’s signature cement-based cladding panels.
Tony Hildreth, meanwhile, has been appointed branch manager, taking responsibility for driving operational performance and customer service in London.
Ben Jayes, group MD, said, “These four appointments mark an exciting moment for us. Each of them brings genuine expertise and a track record of success in their field, and together they significantly strengthen our senior team. As we continue to grow, having the right people in the right roles is absolutely critical.
“John, Josh, Tony and Emma will each play a key part in helping us deliver for our customers. We’re seeing green shoots emerging as projects gain Gateway 2 approval and design orders are issued, leading to an increased demand for façade material supplies. We’re prepared and looking forward to increasing our market share as well as creating our own demand.”
