In his new role, Charlie will help to drive the company’s ongoing business development strategy by working closely with specifiers, main contractors and installers across the country to promote the benefits of Sotech’s established Optima range of engineered metal rainscreen cladding and architectural fabrications.

With over 25 years’ experience in the construction industry and an impressive CV that includes previous positions with Kingspan, Spanwall and CGL Systems, Charlie is looking forward to his new role: “Like me, Sotech has been operating in the construction industry for over 25 years and the company has built up a impressive portfolio of projects and a successful client base. Sotech has the potential to grow even further and in my new position as UK Sales Manager, I am keen to take the innovative Optima brand to new areas in the market and to highlight the many different products and services that Sotech can offer.”
