Allegion UK has appointed Karen Trigg as business development manager to develop and strengthen new and existing business opportunities in the South East.
Trigg joins Allegion UK following 23 years of experience working with architects, contractors and end users.
She has worked for industry-leading companies like Capital Architectural Ironmongery, Beaver Architectural Ironmongery, and VL Architectural Ironmongery.
In her role as business development manager, Trigg will primarily be involved with extending Allegion’s customer base by liaising with architectural ironmongers. Furthermore, she will be engaging in project lead work across all sectors.
Marc Lengahan, commercial director of Allegion UK and Ireland, said: “Karen will be working closely with our customers to provide them with specification support for door hardware in their buildings, and will be focusing on accelerating growth in new accounts, while also developing relationships with existing accounts. We’re thrilled to welcome her to the team.”
Trigg added: “It’s a pleasure to have been accepted as part of the team at Allegion.
The brands under Allegion’s umbrella – Briton, LCN, CISA, Legge, to name a few – are all leading industry brands in fire safety and security.
“My passion is to see that not only are the architects and contractors confident with the products Allegion can supply, but that the end users have products that stand up to their expections.”
Allegion develops and manufactures a full range of door hardware and furniture, from door closers, locks, door furniture and exit devices through to fully-integrated electronic access control solutions.
