A borough door hardware specialist has expanded its team with three senior appointments. Bury-based UAP has welcomed Andy Kay as business development manager for the North West, David Brackpool as business development manager for the North East, and Dan Powell as national account manager. Mr Kay brings more than 30 years of experience in window and door hardware to the role, which will see him building relationships with distributors and fabricators and driving internal and external product uptake. He said: "UAP has such an exciting product portfolio that's driving the hardware industry forward. "I'm really enjoying working with the wider UAP team, and I'm looking forward to building the business in the North West even further." Mr Brackpool brings extensive knowledge of the timber and PVCu fabrication industries, having started his career at John Carr Joinery and held positions with Premdor, Masonite, and Caldwell. He said: "I'm thrilled to be joining UAP, whose commitment to innovation places it at the forefront of a very competitive market. "I'm excited at the prospect of bringing its industry-leading products to current and future customers all over the North East." Mr Powell has more than 20 years' experience in the fenestration industry and previously held senior roles at VBH GB, including recently as head of sales and then head of brand.

"I look forward to using my skills and experience to support the business's continued growth and help develop an already impressive customer base across the country." UAP was established in 1996 and offers a range of products including fire-rated hardware, locking systems, and security solutions for doors and windows.
