Leicestershire-based Promat appoints new product manager to support growth
Passive fire protection specialist Promat has appointed a new product manager to support the company’s growth.
Taking a key role in ensuring the requirements for passive fire protection in the construction industry are met, Margherita Mullis will combine product expertise with technical insight to help launch new products.
Joining from sister company Siniat – a drywalling manufacturer that is also part of the Etex group, Margherita will bring a strong technical background with specialist product knowledge to the role.
Qualified to IFE Level 3 in Passive Fire Protection, Margherita has worked in the Etex group for five years, including within the technical, and research and development teams.
As product manager at Promat she will work closely with key members of the commercial and specification team to support the company’s growth by ensuring products meet the demands of the supply chain, and that correct testing and performance standards are in place.
This will help to support specification requirements for passive fire protection across a wide range of applications.
Margherita said: “I am delighted to be working with the Promat team, which is led with a genuine passion for achieving the very highest standards in life critical safety.
“Passive fire protection is such an important part of the built environment, and this is an incredibly important time for the industry as it demonstrates its commitment to standards in both testing and competency, but also in meeting the requirements of new legislation.
“The need for testing and data is very much starting to drive product demand in the sector as it is essential to demonstrate compliance. I look forward to working with the wider team to support architects, contractors and developers in the accurate specification of passive fire protection – and ensuring they can access the products and data they need.”
