A Birmingham manufacturer has appointed a new managing director to lead its ambitious growth plans.

Stuart Judge, who has more than 25 years’ experience in the construction products market, has joined Fusion Windows and Doors, which operates from a 10,000 sq ft manufacturing unit at Hubert Street, Aston.

Fusion, which manufactures aluminium windows and doors, was recently acquired for an undisclosed sum by Key Land Capital’s investments division.

Judge is the former managing director of Crittall Windows. His career has included spells at Everest, where he was commercial director, and Mumford & Wood.

He said: “Key Land has aspirations to take the business and use it as a catalyst to create something bigger and brighter. That is a wonderful opportunity and something I am excited to be involved in.

“The company is in a strong position to take advantage of a buoyant commercial and residential property market with its wide range of aluminium door and window products. We’re going to reshape and reorganise the business, and then look to grow a portfolio of businesses in fenestration, windows and doors – the common theme being glass.”
