Wilsonart appoints new commercial director to accelerate strategic growth

Engineered surfaces manufacturer Wilsonart has appointed Alex Gambroudes as commercial director – a newly created role designed to strengthen the company's commercial strategy and support the next phase of development for the business across the UK and Europe.

 

With almost 30 years' experience across the timber, panels and construction materials sectors, including senior leadership roles at Kronospan, Bergs Timber and Hadleigh Timber Group, Alex has a strong understanding of customer needs that will support Wilsonart's ambitions to broaden its market reach, strengthen customer partnerships and identify new commercial opportunities. In his new position, Alex will focus on building a fully customer-led commercial organisation, increasing engagement across new customer bases and applications, as well as ensuring specification and business development activity is aligned with the company's most significant long-term opportunities.

 

Alex said: "Wilsonart is a business with real heritage, global scale and a product portfolio that spans some of the most important surfaces in the built environment.  I am particularly excited by the opportunity to help shape the future direction of a respected industry brand. Wilsonart combines strong manufacturing capability, design expertise and a breadth of product solutions, creating a strong platform for continued expansion."

 

As demand grows for durable, design-led and sustainable surfacing solutions across residential, commercial and public sector projects, Wilsonart says it is well positioned to capitalise on emerging opportunities through its broad product portfolio, technical expertise and established market presence.
