Mulholland Takes up Marketing Reins at WHS Halo

WHS Halo has announced the appointment of Dave Mulholland - formerly of the Latium Group - as its new Marketing Director. The appointment follows the decision by incumbent Mike Stevenson to return home to Scotland at Christmas, for family reasons, where he will also take up a senior position in the timber frame buildings division of Robertson Group.

Mike says of the move: ‘While I'm happy to be moving back to the 'auld' country, I have thoroughly enjoyed my six years at WHS Halo - and, had family circumstances permitted, would have been keen to continue to add to its considerable achievements. WHS Halo has deliberately developed strength in depth among the team and I am sure that Dave, particularly with his knowledge of the New Build sector, will add to the skill set and take the company further ahead.’

Dave Mulholland (centre) is welcomed to WHS Halo by Andrew Keir, Chief Executive, Commercial Sector (left); Mike Stevenson, outgoing Marketing Director (right) and the sales team.

Dave, 43, joins WHS Halo with many years of experience in the fenestration sector, most recently as a Sales and Marketing Director at a Latium Group company. He has an enviable track record of delivering sales growth, enhanced customer relations and powerful strategic positioning within the industry; and his joining comes at a time when WHS Halo continues to strengthen its position in the face of difficult market conditions.

Dave, commenting on his appointment, says: ‘I have admired and respected WHS Halo from the outside. In meeting the team and seeing the inside, it becomes obvious why the company and its customers have been successful.

‘The company has a clear vision of how it and its customers can prosper in an industry where consolidation will present challenges, but also many opportunities. Furthermore, WHS Halo seems to be the only major extruder making significant investment in new products, processes and materials that are relevant to the new carbon conscious agenda’.

Winston Duguid, Managing Director of Bowater Building Products, has only praise for Stevenson - and Mulholland: ‘It would have been impossible for Mike to carry on in his current role for us based in Stirling. We are very grateful to Mike for what he has achieved both for us and the industry. He took WHS Halo to a new level of understanding of both public sector needs and the challenges of sustainability. His work through the BPF will help many apart from ourselves and we hope to collaborate further together in the construction sector, north of the border. Dave is a proven professional and we are fortunate in having secured someone of his calibre, drive and integrity to join our team.’
