| Jo's appointment highlights the growing importance of the new build specification sector to Allegion |
Allegion has confirmed the appointment of Jo Milne-Rowe as specification leader for door solutions, in a move which highlights the growing importance of the new build specification sector to the leading provider of safety and security products.
With more than nine years’ experience in the industry, Jo, aged 35 from Northamptonshire will be based at Allegion’s UK headquarters in Walsall. From the Midlands Jo will be conducting nationwide travel to showcase the many leading brands in Allegion’s door solutions portfolio, including its specification hardware, automatic and steel door solutions. Jo’s remit is to work closely with architects and contractors at the specification stage of commercial projects, to provide bespoke advice and support.
Colin Campbell, Door Solutions Sales Leader, UK & Eire, at Allegion, commented on the new appointment: “The role of specification leader demonstrates our progression after identifying larger commercial projects as a key area where more support is often needed.
“At a time when the industry faces changing regulations, it can be difficult for individuals to keep on top of every change, and Jo will lead on providing support and responding to queries relating to door hardware and solutions. Jo’s track record in this area will be invaluable when it comes to supporting sectors such as transport, healthcare, education and commercial - informing on code compliance and new solutions, and bringing her product knowledge to the fore.”
Jo added: “Having worked for Allegion several years ago, the opportunity to return to such a prestigious and well-renowned portfolio of brands was simply too good to miss. In my new role I hope to utilise my extensive knowledge of mechanical products to unlock the potential for integrated, smart solutions at the specification stage. I am looking forward to building on existing relationships and forging new associations with customers, providing individual solutions to their requirements and ensuring they receive the highest level of service.”
