ABUS UK has appointed Gary Major as Sales and Marketing Director for Home and Commercial Security.
Gary joins ABUS with more than 30 years’ experience across sales, marketing and business development, working with a range of manufacturing and retail businesses. He will lead the continued development of ABUS UK’s Home and Commercial Security division.
“The values of ABUS were a big part of what attracted me to the role,” says Gary. “The emphasis on family, honesty and fairness, together with the genuine commitment to customers and colleagues, really resonated with me.
“From my first conversations with the team, I could see the ambition within the business and the opportunities ahead. ABUS has a strong platform in the UK, and I’m looking forward to contributing to its continued development.”
Adam Evans, Managing Director of ABUS UK & Ireland, said: “Gary brings a wealth of commercial experience and a proven track record of delivering growth. While he joins us from outside the security industry, I see this as a real strength to bring fresh thinking, a customer-first mindset and a genuine passion for developing people and businesses.
“As we continue to invest in the growth of our Home and Commercial Security division, Gary’s expertise will play an important role in helping us realise the significant opportunities ahead.”
