Actis has appointed three new staff members to manage increased demand, following a growth in sales of its dual-performance Hybrid insulation range.

Helen Norman and Matthew Cyples have been appointed as area sales managers for the east of England, and the West Midlands and South Wales, respectively. Architect Thomas Wiedmer joins as technical manager, to give first-hand scientific advice to fellow architects and specifiers.

When she’s not visiting customers in East Anglia, Ms Norman is training for her black belt in kickboxing. Meanwhile, Matthew Cyples is a former RAF police counter intelligence officer, who is now spending more time with his wife and two dogs and in his new role at Actis.
