Becker started his career with the company as a warehouse operative 28 years ago where he progressed through the business into a sales position as a product demonstrator and then up to head of product management. He then gained experience away from the company before return its this new role.
Becker said: “By leveraging my three decades of experience within the fastener and fixing industry, I plan to pass on my product expertise to our merchants, better familiarise them with the specifics of our products and help them to boost customer satisfaction and ultimately drive sales.
“Whilst I plan on strengthening relationships with existing accounts and expanding on those opportunities, I will also jump on new market research to identify the most efficient routes to market.”
He explained that he now plans to apply his holistic knowledge of the fastener market, work closely with business development teams, expand product lines, and enhance merchant knowledge of its products with a particular focus on Metalmate.
“Building my long-term career at Harrison & Clough has been a rewarding journey,” Becker commented. “The business has not only supported my personal growth but has also given me opportunities to upskill my expertise across different departments. I am excited to continue my professional development here.”

I am excited about the growth of our sales team and the wealth of expertise Malcolm will contribute to our collective knowledge.”
