Safety seal manufacturer Roxtec appoints new south of England infrastructure and industry manager

Based near London in Benfleet, Essex, Stephen will be instrumental in driving Roxtec’s growth strategy across the region. His core focus will be on elevating infrastructure resilience and environmental standards across sectors including ports and airports, advanced facilities, water management works and civil construction.

Stephen will be responsible for managing clients’ specification requirements, business development and overseeing onsite installations and applications across clean rooms, battery plants and sewage treatment plants. This is to ensure testing and compliance are conducted in line with industry safety standards, contributing to Roxtec’s mission to protect lives and assets.

Stephen has a strong background in construction and a wealth of experience gained by working in a wide range of industries over the course of his 18-year career, where he honed his skills as a regional specification manager and sales specification manager.

Roxtec’s Managing Director Clive Sharp said: “We’re looking forward to building our presence in the south of England with the strategic appointment of Stephen to drive growth across industry. We’ve seen demand across infrastructure increase in this region in recent years, with London being a real gateway for vast amounts of projects, which Stephen will be instrumental in supporting. This proactive approach is giving Roxtec a competitive edge as a forerunner in infrastructure as our products protect against the risks of fire, flooding, air or gas leakage, humidity and electromagnetic disturbances to ensure nonstop, smooth operations in key locations.”

Stephen added: “Roxtec is a global market leader so I’m delighted to join the business. The team is supportive and offers exceptional ongoing training around all of Roxtec’s products and services. Every day is different and I hope that my expertise - aligned with a commitment to sustainability - propels the organisation's mission to be a true frontrunner in the infrastructure domain. I’m dedicated to driving growth and sparking innovation with impactful solutions.”

Roxtec’s penetration seals are used in cleanrooms to combine complete air-tightness with excellent firestop performance for safe operation and validation. They enable efficient energy use, while eliminating the risk of contamination and fumigants escaping.

Roxtec modular-based transits are used for cable sealing and pipe sealing in numerous demanding industries and projects worldwide as the seals provide certified protection against multiple risks, including fire, gas and water.

Roxtec entered the marketplace in 1990 and is now active in more than 80 markets worldwide. The Swedish headquartered company has a turnover of more than £220 million and a team of 29 in Bury.
