The door and window hardware manufacturer HOPPE (UK) has appointed Rick Corkhill as the door and window business development manager for the north.
Rick started at Coleman Plastics (then part of builders’ merchants Travis Perkins) in 1994, supplying plumbers, heating engineers, builders, roofers, window manufacturing companies and window installers. He moved to Premier Profiles and has remained within the fenestration industry ever since. Rick is joining the Wolverhampton-based firm from ERA where he was also a business development manager, bringing with him over two decades of experience working in the industry.
Rick, pictured, says: “My experience within the construction and fenestration industries means I understand the typical problems and barriers that HOPPE (UK) customers face and can therefore give them the best hardware solution. This is particularly important at this time, when the correct specification and supply of building products – and especially anything related to fire safety, security or accessibility – is under so much scrutiny. My role is to keep our customers up to date on the latest products and trends, and to ensure they continue to receive fantastic customer service every step of the way.”
