Joe Murphy has been appointed by A1 Flue Systems as international sales manager to head up a new division that will see the company start exporting to the Middle East.
Mr Murphy and the rest of the directors at the company have been working with UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) to organise a schedule of appointments in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as part of a plan to supply products made in Nottinghamshire for some of the most prestigious and ambitious construction projects in the world.

The British Embassies in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have arranged for him to meet a delegation of leading figures from the construction industry in the UAE within the next few weeks.

He plans to showcase work including The Shard and the venue in East London used for a recent global sporting event as evidence of its capabilities to supply systems for high-profile and complex construction projects.

Mr Murphy has been promoted from within A1 Flue Systems for the new role.
