addition , we noticed that for projects in London , our clients had to rely on other suppliers for their aluminium needs . We aim to address these needs by expanding our focus to include aluminium ground floor and entrance doors , among other products . Our goal is to fill the gaps in our portfolio and provide a comprehensive solution that encompasses both timber and aluminium elements . To that end , NorDan has taken the initiative to produce its own aluminium products within its brand-new aluminium manufacturing factory . We are now in the early stages of delivering these aluminium solutions to the UK market ,” Lou explains .
Reflecting upon her own career , Lou describes what it ’ s like being a woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry . “ Prior to joining the construction industry , my background was in child protection , a relatively female-dominated field . I began working with NorDan in 2016 and have come a long way since . Initially , I was often the only woman in the room during meetings , but that split continues growing as the mindset within the construction industry is changing . Women are no longer frowned upon for being in the industry , they are just individuals doing the best job they can . In other words , I haven ’ t had any poor experiences . In fact , I am very involved in site meetings and feel like part of one team where gender does not matter . NorDan stands out as an equal opportunity employer and strives for a balanced representation of males and females across the business ,” she ends . Through constant investment in production advancements , NorDan is poised to continue meeting client needs for years to come . ■
