HCL Safety, specialist sub-contractor in fall protection and part of MSA Safety, has made two key appointments as part of a wider strategy to enhance its offering across the UK.

Joining from Danosa Roofing, Danielle McGowan will cover Scotland as well as North East England and Helen Smith, formerly employed by Arco has been appointed to cover the Trans Pennine area.

The expansion comes as part of the continued investment from MSA Safety into the HCL business to improve customer experience.

The sales team is now made up of five sales managers, who will be supported by regionalised dedicated Account Managers. The overall team will bring a wealth of experience on-board including vast roofing and specification knowledge, as well as an in-depth understanding of the contractor and distribution fields.

Stuart Pierpoint, UK Sales Manager at HCL said on the appointments: “It’s an exciting time here at HCL. There have been significant investments across the business, meaning we have been able to increase the size of the sales team resulting in dedicated regional management alongside full UK coverage.

“The recent expansion will help us to form better and closer relationships with our customers, ensuring we continue to provide a first-class service across the board.”

HCL is equipped with the expert knowledge needed to assess the risks surrounding working at height, as well as implement the correct fall protection solutions to the highest standard.
