CGI International Bolsters International Presence with European Sales Director

From his base in Koblenz, Germany, Oliver will head up the technical sales teams in France, Scandinavia and the Netherlands and will be responsible for driving forward the business plan in these territories.Qualified as a Civil Engineer, Oliver joins the business from Kalzip which is part of Tata Steel Europe, where he was International Project Manager.

Drawing on professional expertise and the extensive experience gained at Corus Building Systems, Oliver is tasked with driving forward Pyroguard project specifications, enhancing the visibility of Pyroguard amongst the architectural and project specification community and overseeing the implementation of the new Technical Licensing Programme ahead of the Construction Products Regulation coming into force next year.

Commenting on his new position, Oliver said: “The scope of the role is very varied so I am very much looking forward to meeting to the challenge. Pyroguard has a good team spirit and the range of fire glass solutions is well established as a market leading brand – my objective is to raise the profile of Pyroguard in the EU market even further and secure our position as the preferred European supplier for fire glass solutions.”

By continually investing in sales operations, technical certification and product development, CGI International is succeeding in its objective to significantly grow the business whilst retaining the highest quality standards.

David Jolliffe, CGI International Managing Director, concludes: “Oliver will be a great asset to the senior management team and his proven experience in a pan-European role makes him well placed to help us deliver our ambitious growth objectives. This is an exciting time of change and development for CGI International and I am delighted to welcome Oliver on board as a key part of this process.”
