Familiar industry face, Craig Keighley, has recently celebrated his 25-year anniversary at conservatory and extension specialist, Ultraframe. Craig, who is currently Business Unit Head for Lanterns and Skylights, celebrated his milestone in style with gifts from the business and an evening meal with colleagues.
In 1998 when Craig joined Ultraframe in the role of Marketing Administrator, the industry was enjoying the first flurry of homeowners looking to add extra light and space to their homes with a conservatory. The vast majority of these conservatories featured Ultraframe roofs as the company was the first to develop a systemised solution, offering the perfect combination of style, safety and technology. Over the years Ultraframe has continued to develop innovative solutions for extending homes and this is one of the key reasons that Craig has enjoyed his 25 years at the company so much.
Commenting about his milestone, Craig said: “I have enjoyed the last 25 years at Ultraframe immensely and am proud to be a part of the business. The innovation and development is unrivalled and the product solutions we create solve consumer problems in the lowest risk way possible. I have worked in a variety of customer facing sales roles, internally and externally over the years – formerly as Head of Retail Sales. I forged strong relationships with retailers and their sales teams and instilled them with the belief and confidence that they could sell value and achieve their goals. The feedback and recognition I received from this gave me a fantastic sense of value and gratitude. My new role as Business Unit Head for Lanterns and Skylights is the start of another chapter and a prime example of how Ultraframe’s ongoing success continues to reward dedication and hard work with opportunity.”
Alex Hewitt, Marketing Director presented Craig with champagne and other gifts on the day of his anniversary and said: “As one of Ultraframe’s biggest advocates with customers and stakeholders across the industry, Craig has shaped many of our plans over his 25 years, always ensuring that the customer is at the heart of our innovation and launch process. Highly valued by every customer, Craig consistently strives to get the best results for everyone and demands the best of all of us. Green blood must run through his veins – he is fiercely loyal to Ultraframe and our customers.”
