TIMBER Performance Window Group (PWG) has appointed David Snowling as managing director of Essex-based Mumford & Wood Ltd, one of the three brands of timber windows within the group.

He replaces Chris Wood, son of one of the founder members of Mumford & Wood, who is embarking on a new career.

The move follows the acquisition by PWG of timberwindows.com and the injection of additional capital from Graphite Capital.

“I have been with Mumford & Wood almost all my working life,” said Mr Wood.

“I've learned a great deal about high performance, quality window design and manufacture and I feel ready to take this knowledge and experience in another direction.”

The Tiptree-based company specialises in making period style windows and doorsets, for renovation and traditional new build projects, as well as contemporary products.

Mr Snowling, previously operations director at Mumford & Wood, takes up the new position with immediate effect and will report directly to the board of PWG.

“To the detriment of other materials, the timber window market is growing at a phenomenal rate,” he said.

“I will enjoy the opportunity to ensure Mumford & Wood continues its deserved leadership of the quality timber fenestration sector.”
