Kate brings extensive commercial expertise, board-level experience, and a proven ability to guide high-growth organisations through performance transformation and long-range value creation. Her role will focus on strengthening Sotech’s commercial strategy, refining the customer value proposition, and supporting the leadership, sales, and commercial teams as the business advances into its next chapter.
Driving Strategic Clarity and Commercial Excellence
Throughout her engagement, Kate will work closely with teams across the organisation to enhance commercial performance, sharpen market positioning, and embed the structures needed for sustainable growth.

There is a real opportunity to significantly build on the strengths that already make Sotech stand out.”
Kate’s blend of strategic insight and pragmatic, outcome-driven execution makes her ideally placed to support the business at this pivotal moment.
Aligned with Sotech’s Ambitious Growth Vision
The appointment aligns with CEO Jon Symonds’ five-year strategy to double the size of the company through further innovation, enhanced collaboration, and our values-driven culture. Jon described Kate’s arrival as a significant step in accelerating this plan.
“Kate brings a fresh commercial perspective and a wealth of experience that will help us elevate our customer offer and sharpen our strategy,” Jon said.
“As we continue to grow, strengthen our specification support, and launch new products into the market, having this level of commercial expertise in the business will be invaluable. It’s another example of the investment we’re making in people, capability, and long-term success.”
A Commitment to Capability, Collaboration, and Client Outcomes
Kate’s role complements a wider programme of strategic appointments and organisational development across Sotech, including significant investment in the specification team with the appointment of Harry Tamplin and Jake Winwood, and the upcoming launch of an exciting new product in the new year. Alongside these developments, the company will be attending key industry events, launching a new CPD, strengthening, and embracing digital transformation. Together, these initiatives reflect Sotech’s commitment to delivering market-leading performance, exceptional client outcomes, and the opportunity to embark on more amazing projects.
Sotech continues to build on its 40-year heritage as a trusted UK rainscreen cladding manufacturer, supported by a team with more than 300 years of combined technical experience.
