UAP has named Simon Monks as its new Group Sales & Marketing Director.

Monks joins UAP with almost two decades’ experience in the door and fenestration industry, including spearheading sales and marketing strategies. He has previously risen through the ranks at different hardware companies, moving from sales to the C-suite. He has spent ten years in directorship positions — seven as Managing Director — with experience in fenestration markets both in the UK and overseas.  

On his appointment, Simon Monks, Group Sales & Marketing Director at UAP, said: “I was drawn to UAP because of its ambition, growth plans, and reputation for innovation, with products like the Armasmart and Kinetica ranges driving progress in the industry. In such an exciting time for the business group, I can’t wait to get stuck into shaping its future alongside the stellar team.” 

Steve Cox, Managing Director of UAP, said: “Simon has joined us at an integral stage of our growth journey. His market knowledge and industry standing are exceptional, and his leadership and customer skills are key additions to our team.  

“Simon’s insights will be fundamental as we consolidate our UK plans, including targeting repair markets, and expand into international markets that are new to us.”
