Trevor retires after 25 years
February 2018

WINKHAUS has announced the retirement of its second longest-serving employee, North East Project Manager Trevor Riley, after nearly 25 years.

Trevor joined the hardware company in November 1993, one year after the company was established in the UK.

He said: “One of the high points for me, and indeed the whole company, has been the introduction of automatic locking, which has transformed the residential door market. 

Winkhaus has always been at the forefront of innovation; from secure double door locking through to today’s automatic electronic locks, such as the AV2 and AV2E.”

National sales manager Mike Rushen replied: “Trevor’s depth of knowledge about the industry and Winkhaus product range has assured the company’s success in the North East. 
We wish him all the best for a long and happy retirement.”

Taking over from Trevor in the North East is Ollie Safhill, who joined Winkhaus in July 2016 as Business Development Executive.

Ollie said: “I am looking forward to building on Trevor’s achievements and growing our presence further in the North East.”
