To support its increased emphasis on MMC solutions, H+H has added to its team with the appointment of a new Building Solutions Manager.
With 35 years in construction, Frank Brittain joins H+H with a wealth of product and building experience, from foundations to roof, encompassing whole house (building envelope) solutions.
Frank will be responsible for driving new business and developing the product range, with particular focus on Celcon Vertical Wall Panels. He will be working with contractors, housing associations and volume housebuilders to raise awareness of the storey-high panels as a robust masonry MMC solution.
Having held positions previously with manufacturers, sub-contractors and distributors Frank has an in-depth knowledge of the construction process, both at each project stage and with the many and various teams involved throughout the build.
Frank says: “I am delighted to join H+H, it is a brand with a great reputation that is well known within the industry. Since joining the company I have visited customer sites using H+H Vertical Wall Panels and discussed with them first hand the ease and speed of installation and what can be achieved in only a few days. It is a fantastic product, backed by an excellent Technical support service, and when you see it in situ it’s very impressive.
“The Celcon Vertical Wall Panel system offers huge potential for speeding up procurement, reducing time on site and cutting down housebuilders’ costs. It is becoming increasingly sought after as the sector moves towards MMC solutions and seeks longevity of build.
“It can be challenging to persuade housebuilders to move away from systems they are familiar with and try something new. However, with Vertical Wall Panels we find that once the decision is made and the system has been used on site, the benefits are so obvious it becomes a material of choice.”
It is an uncertain time for the industry with many financial experts predicting a downturn, but Frank is cautiously optimistic about the future. He comments: “My experience is that situations like this make good companies more proactive. We can’t allow ourselves to be reactive and my new role with H+H will ensure I will work hard to win business for our newest MMC solution.”
