Joshua Slack, Commercial Director at Promat - part of the Etex group

Passive fire protection specialist Promat has appointed a new commercial director, and a new national specification manager.

Joshua Slack has taken on the role of commercial director, having served as the company’s National Specification Manager for the previous three years.

In his new role, Josh will sit across the Promat specification and commercial sales teams and take responsibility for the sales growth of Promat in the UK.

Having worked within Promat for nearly eight years, Josh brings a wealth of experience in the specification and application of passive fire protection products. He holds the IFE Level 3 Certificate in Passive Fire Protection and brings a wide understanding of construction, having previously worked as a chartered surveyor.

Promat’s former Architectural Specification Manager Harvey Brown has been appointed as the company’s new National Specification Manager. Having worked for Promat for five years, Harvey has extensive experience of supporting architects and specification managers in the accurate design of passive fire protection solutions.

Harvey will manage a team of specification managers to support designers in developing solutions to meet specific project demands.

Josh said: “Promat is dedicated to providing the highest levels of support throughout the specification process to ensure that passive fire protection systems are correctly specified – and will meet the required safety standards.

“This is a time of change for the passive fire protection industry with the recent introduction of the Building Safety Act – and the need for early specification. The specification team at Promat is heavily invested in offering the support needed to raise standards for life critical products, and to support the drive to ensure greater compliance and safer buildings.

“Myself and Harvey look forward to working with key stakeholders to help ensure the safety of their projects.”

Promat is a leading manufacturer of fire protection boards and provides a wide range of passive fire solutions for the construction industry.
