A warm Hemsec welcome to Paul Nicholls, Hemsec's new Business Development
Manager for SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels). Paul is experienced in
the construction sector, and will be working closely with industry
players to help them satisfy their need for the new materials required
to implement Modern Methods of Construction (MMC),
Educating and informing the construction sector on SIPs usage
The potential for timber faced insulated panels to enable the
construction industry to build better quality buildings, and to build
them faster is enormous. Paul’s primary objective will be to educate and
inform the sector of these huge opportunities, specifically with SIPs,
and to showcase how with Hemsec as a supply chain partner, companies can
rest assured that they will have the highest certification standards
available delivered on time, and in full.
Paul explained his new role and priorities.
“I will be working with architects, developers and housing associations to
explain how SIPs can contribute towards improving building insulation and
sustainability, provide larger internal building dimensions, greater
construction efficiency and fewer snags, thereby reducing overall operational
costs and reducing the time capital is tied up in a project.
Many in the building industry are unaware of the importance of SIPs
“Currently many professionals working in
the industry are unaware of the key benefits SIPs offer, and my job will be to demonstrate
why they are such an important solution. This in turn will help the industry to
address the housing crisis in the UK, building more energy-efficient and
affordable homes.”
Paul is working on a number of key projects
for Hemsec. This includes a current Housing Association project where they are
keen to explore the use of SIPs in their current building programme, recognising the need
for innovative solutions and the benefits they offer as part of Modern Methods
of Construction.
In addition to educating the sector about
the benefits of SIPs, Paul will be working to develop Hemsec’s network of collaborators
to meet the needs of businesses seeking everything from panel supply only to full
turnkey solutions, the objective being to offer coherent and effective supply
chain partnerships for all sizes of project, regardless of size or complexity.
Supportive culture at Hemsec
Four months into his new role, Paul is excited about the potential of
the business and is positive about the supportive culture that is an
important part of the company’s success and longevity. He said, “Hemsec
is a great company to work for. It is very loyal to its local
workforce, is family orientated, open and extremely welcoming. I firmly
believe in our ambition to be quite different in the market place
compared to our competitors, recognising the importance of developing
strong business relationships.”
CPD materials for professionals needing to learn about SIPs
Hemsec are developing educational materials to facilitate SIPs usage in
the construction industry and they are in talks with secondary education
colleges and the CITB to provide accredited learning.
