Abloy UK strengthens Irish presence with new Regional Specifications Manager appointment

Kevin brings a wealth of access solutions experience to the role, having spent 10 years in the Middle East, working in business development for some of the world's biggest companies. Before relocating to Ireland, he had roles within access control - both commercially and residentially - for the past two years.

Kevin is keen to develop relationships with new and existing clients within the region and work closely with specifiers and system integrators, educating the Irish market on access control systems, compliance and standards, and Abloy solutions.

Kevin spoke about his aims in the role and said: “I want to be the main point of contact for anyone in Ireland. I aim to develop a reputation like my colleague Pat Jefferies, as a trusted and knowledgeable partner that’s always willing to go the extra mile.”

He describes himself as an outgoing and friendly person: “I aim to offer the highest quality of service possible to assist customers. I also believe it's important to be honest and open, so I’ll also be bringing transparency to the role.”

Since starting his new position, Kevin has been overwhelmed by the support from the Abloy team and his colleagues. He said: “Although I am in Ireland, and my colleagues are based in the UK, everyone has been so supportive, ensuring I have everything I need to do my job and educating me on the Abloy brand and its range of high security access solutions. I couldn't have asked for a better welcome.”

Pat Jefferies, Commercial Director at Abloy UK, explained the new appointment: “Bringing Kevin onto the team is a massive win for us. Somebody of Kevin's expertise and experience is hard to find, and so when we became aware of his potential and availability in the Republic of Ireland, we knew we had to approach him.

“From training and working with Kevin, I can tell he is the right fit for Abloy UK - he is outgoing and friendly, as well as extremely knowledgeable about access solutions, and I can tell he will be a trusted advisor for the Irish market. We wish him the best of luck in his new role.”
