Paul Hazel has been appointed as Group Managing Director for the Epwin Group, the vertically-integrated manufacturer and supplier of wide range of home improvement products, and probably the UK's second largest PVC-U and PVC-UE extruder.

Mr Hazel, who joined as Group Finance Director in 1995, will be responsible for managing the privately-owned business which covers over 30 separate brands and employs in excess of 2,200 people across the UK.

He takes over day-to-day duties in the newly-created post from founder A J Rawson, who remains as Group Chairman. Mr Rawson says: ‘Epwin has had many successes and has experienced tremendous growth over the past 30 years. I am fortunate to be able to hand over day-to-day responsibilities to a trusted and respected colleague, allowing me to focus on the strategic direction of the Group.'

Epwin claims to have launched PVC-U windows to the UK in 1976, and has grown to operate leading brands covering extrusion, product manufacture, installation and recycling. These include Profile 22, Swish ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Products, Permadoor, Quantal and Sierra.
