Katie Leese rejoins Epwin to
manage Excellence as Standard
» » THE EPWIN GROUP HAS
just announced that it has
appointed Katie Leese as
Programme Manager for Excellence
as Standard, its groundbreaking
new member programme. Sharn
Samra, Epwin’s Marketing Director,
said: “We are delighted Katie will
be managing the Excellence as
Standard programme.”
Katie has over 16 years’
experience in the industry and is
no stranger to the Epwin Window
Systems – she spent over 8 years
as the Brand Manager for Profile
22. It means she has a deep
understanding of the industry in
general and the Epwin Window
Systems’ brands and culture in
particular that will stand her in
good stead as she takes up her new
role.
Excellence as Standard was
launched at FIT 2017 and is a
powerful new initiative to drive
quality in the industry. When an
installer signs the Excellence as
Standard charter, they are making
a pledge to commit to striving for
excellence in fenestration. From
day-to-day business operations,
through to product manufacturing
processes and physical installations
in the home.
The appointment of Katie
Leese, with her wealth of
industry experience, is a perfect
demonstration of this ability in
practice.
