Owlett-Architectural, who says it is the UK’s newest distributor of architectural ironmongery, has strengthened its sales team with the appointment of Craig Baxter, who has more than 20 years’ experience in the field.

Craig started his career with Gibbs & Dandy in the early 1980s, before moving to Graham Builders Merchants, which later became George Boyds. In the mid 1990s he specialised in architectural ironmongery in 1995 with Arcon/Beaver Hardware in Watford, later Lloyd Worrall, and has been focused on working in the wider construction specification industry, until joining Owlett-Architectural.

He will join an experienced team that is helping establish the company as a leading supplier for the AI industry.

Graham Sims, commercial manager, said: “We are delighted to be joined by Craig, who brings with him a wealth of experience and knowledge. Having launched the business in the spring, we are delighted that demand for our a comprehensive range of high-quality architectural ironmongery is already high and warrants an expansion to the team even at this early stage.

“From day one it has been very important that our customers deal with people who understand their business needs and can support them with first-class service and Craig fits the bill perfectly.”
