Since taking on leadership responsibility for the business, I am now spending more time with customers and finding that the business has changed significantly (for the better according to our customers) over the last three years. Ultraframe’s heritage has always been embedded in innovation and pushing the boundaries of technology and I believe that continuing to ensure that we have the most advanced products on the market is key to our continued future success.”
