Dura Products has announced it has appointed Andy Robinson as its business development manager, which is a newly-created role.

Robinson will focus on promoting Dura products’ range of recycled plastic kerbs and drainage systems, with the goal will be to increasingly reach local authorities, merchants, designers and housebuilders.

Prior to joining Dura Products, Robinson spent the last decade working for a variety of cement manufacturers, including Ecocem, a low-carbon cement producer based in Dublin, and concrete block manufacturer, Cheshire Concrete Products. Robinson has also worked with Hanson Cement, part of the Heidelberg group, promoting their reduced carbon cement to merchants and groundwork contractors.

His wealth of experience across the manufacturing industry and knowledge of sustainable practices in the sector will help to uplevel our offering and provide invaluable consultancy to our customers.
