Russell Yates, Managing Director of AluK, is the latest senior industry figure to feature on Richard Lannen’s ‘Glazing Insider’ podcast – and the face of a new podcast partnership with Window News.
In the half hour chat recorded recently at our Chepstow HQ, Russell tells Richard why, after three years away, he couldn’t turn down the chance to come back to AluK for chapter two.
He also talks about how he’s assembling the ‘best team we’ve ever had at AluK’ and how quickly AluK is now making up lost ground on product development.
Beyond that, there’s plenty of debate about why Russell thinks some of the newer names in a crowded systems house landscape are still struggling with Part L – and the questions their customers need to be asking. And there’s a rallying call to the whole of the aluminium sector who Russell says should be taking inspiration from France where aluminium has just reached 50% market share.
As you might expect, the conversation covers AluK’s plans for next year’s FIT Show and more surprisingly, the TWO people from fenestration that Russell would want with him if he was stranded on a desert island for two weeks!
