Mrs Nicol has worked for a number of manufacturing companies, and has achieved a Master's Degree in Industrial Marketing & Management, along with Chartered Marketer status from the Chartered Institute of Marketing. In her new role, she will be tasked with developing the marketing strategy and strengthening awareness of the Alutec brand within the marketplace.

"I am very happy to have this fantastic career opportunity to join the UK leader in innovative aluminium rainwater and eaves drainage solutions and to help to grow the business," she commented. "I look forward to this new challenge and am excited to be part of the future successes of Alutec."
