In this episode of Two PiGs in a Pod, George sits down with Richard Hammond, Sales Director at Universal Trade Frames, to uncover his journey through the glazing and fenestration industry.
From starting out as a young door-to-door salesman to leaving the industry to gain international experience in project management in South Africa, Richard shares the twists and turns that brought him back to the UK glazing sector in 2006 with Mila, and eventually to his current leadership role.
Richard dives into:
- The skills and strategies required to succeed as a Sales Director in the glazing and window industry
- Highlights from FIT Show 2025 and the company’s latest achievements
- Inspirational moments and people who have shaped his career
- What it means to be recognised by the industry, after Universal's G-Award nomination
- Future plans for both his career and Universal Trade Frames
Plus, Richard takes part in our fun quickfire questions, sharing his loves for music, family, and pizza, and revealing who he’d swap roles with for a day.
All this plus much more!
