Former military man Christof has a long history in the building products market and won the role due to his considerable knowledge of the French market.
Sales and marketing director Simon Reynolds said: “Christof is a welcome addition to our sales team in France. He has worked with merchants and truss manufacturers and has an excellent knowledge of the roofline industry. His recruitment supports our strategy to further develop Kestrel’s position in the French market.”
Kestrel first launched its UPVC roofline products on to the French market in 1994. It now claims to be one of the market-leading cellular building product suppliers in the country.
The company announced in March that is also working to develop its reach into other northern and western European countries. Its UK and European range includes UPVC fascia boards, window line, roofline and cladding products.
