After more than 40 years of service to Spanwall, Philip West has retired and the team has paid tribute to his tremendous contribution to the business since joining the design team in 1984.
Philip played a pivotal role in shaping Spanwall into a market leader in metal rainscreen cladding solutions, across the UK, in Ireland and internationally.
In his four decades here, he worked across both design and technical sales before being appointed to the Board as Sales Director.
He has been involved in iconic building projects – from Belfast, Dublin and London to Barbados, Amsterdam, South Africa and Saudi Arabia.
David Clark, MD of Spanwall, said, “It has been a pleasure to work with Philip. The business has benefited hugely from his dedication and experience, and we all wish him many happy years of retirement.”
“We have a solid foundation for growth and a really talented team in place. We have invested heavily in the latest digital and manufacturing technology to support our continued expansion, particularly in the reclad and remediation sector. We remain committed to helping to bring more buildings up to the new safety standards with our advanced metal rainscreen systems, as well as delivering more complex solutions for award-winning architecture.”
Spanwall is well placed for the next phase in its growth, particularly in the application of its fire-rated metal cladding systems for the reclad market, as well as for major new building envelope projects and the challenging bespoke façade solutions that we continue to deliver.
The Spanwall team like to wish Philip a long and happy retirement and good luck in his next chapter.
