The British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC), the industry’s most trusted rating provider for over 25 years, is delighted to welcome Lee Dearman to the team. Lee joins as Development Officer and brings with him a wealth of valuable experience.
Looking forward to the opportunities his new role provides, Lee explains: “In my previous role as Technical and Quality Manager for a UKAS accredited test laboratory, I was responsible for the day to day running of the teams and the quality assurance of the testing. This means that I have in-depth knowledge of best audit practice and testing windows and doors and over the years, I have built up lots of transferrable knowledge that I’m excited to put to good use in my new role.
“At the moment, my new role is varied as my time is split between supporting the ongoing development of the laboratory and the enhancement of procedure documentation. I am also supporting behind the scenes on establishing the growth plans of BFRC. As the scope of our offering widens further, I will become more hands on with the members, supporting them my knowledge and experience.
“We have lots of exciting plans and I’m delighted to be a part of it.”
Richard Sellman, Managing Director at BFRC concludes: “Lee is a fantastic addition to the team at BFRC, as he has first-hand experience of working within a UKAS accredited laboratory during which time he was hands-on providing testing and quality assurance activities on windows and doors. We were looking for someone capable of supporting us in our ambitious plans to widen the scope of our offering, whilst also able to provide an additional resource for our membership to lean into, and Lee is the perfect fit.
“BFRC currently helps the industry by providing an easy-to-understand way for the membership to demonstrate the performance of their products. With the new U-value scheme, and our plans for the future, we aim to help to drive minimum standards and performance levels up within the fenestration market, and Lee will be instrumental in helping us achieve this.”
