UNLOCKING SALES POTENTIAL
WITH NEW APPOINTMENT
Brighouse-based Avocet
Hardware has appointed
Raymond Pearce as head of UK
sales for its ABS snap-secure lock
system.
The ABS lock, which was the
first of its type to be accredited to
the new British Standard TS007
(3-star) and is the only retro-fit euro
cylinder that has passed the SS312
Sold Secure Diamond standard, is
Avocet’s response to the rise in locksnapping across the UK.
Dr Tinkle Jain, director of Avocet
Hardware, stated: “We are tackling
lock-snapping head-on and are
adamant that by working with the
Police, Neighbourhood and Home
Network Watch, and locksmiths
across the country we can stop this
worryingly quick and easy form of
forced entry in its tracks.”
“Raymond’s appointment
provides the scope to take this
campaign to the next level. He has
a huge amount of experience in
the industry, which combined with
his drive and sheer enthusiasm will
help open, and then firmly secure,
doors everywhere he goes.”
During his 25-years promoting
and selling locks, security and
hardware products, Raymond
has worked with a host of market
leaders, including Ingersoll Rand,
Listers, Firestop and Eliza Tinsley,
where he’s held sales director,
sales management and account
management roles.

long-standing employee Wesley
Buchan from national sales
manager to sales director.
In his new role Wesley will be
managing Vista’s sales team and
is directly responsible for all sales
activities spanning the commercial
and trade markets. Sales director is
a major role at any company, not
least at one of the UK’s biggest and
most successful door companies,
but managing director, Keith

Sadler, believes Wesley is more
than capable of stepping up to the
plate.
‘More than earned
his position’
Keith comments: “Wesley has
proved himself to be an incredibly
hard working and valuable
member of the Vista team and has
more than earned his position as
sales director. He’s been one of the
key drivers in the business over the
past ten years and I look forward
to continuing to work alongside
Wesley and watching him excel in
his new role.”
Wesley commented on his
promotion: “Vista is a fantastic
company to work for and I’m
delighted to take up a new
position as sales director. It’s a
real honour to be a director at
such a fast growing and ambitious
company.”
