MBP Door Solutions is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul Smith as its new Group Sales Director. Paul brings a wealth of industry knowledge from senior leadership roles at Häfele, Allgood PLC, Saint-Gobain, and Wolseley. In his new role, he will focus on strengthening customer relationships, expanding market opportunities, and driving new business growth across the group.

Paul succeeds Adrian Wade, who will retire in October 2026 after an exceptional career spanning more than 44 years. Adrian will remain with the business in the short term to ensure a smooth handover. Since joining MBP in 2019, he has played a pivotal role in consolidating sales operations, leading the company’s successful 2023 rebrand, and delivering significant revenue growth.

Reflecting on his time at MBP, Adrian said “My six years at MBP have been fantastic, and I’ve had the privilege of working with some great people who will continue to drive the business forward. Rebranding the group in 2023 was a special moment and has created a strong platform for building even closer customer relationships. MBP will continue to grow with contractors, housebuilders and merchants, providing high-quality door and added-value solutions.”

Looking ahead, Paul commented “I’m delighted to join MBP Door Solutions. With our comprehensive offer – from door kits and doorsets to architectural ironmongery and fire and acoustic seals – we’re well placed to become the trusted partner to the construction industry.”

Michael Finney, Managing Director of MBP Door Solutions, added “Paul’s expertise in sales, leadership, and customer relationships makes him the ideal choice to support our next phase of growth. We wish him every success in his new role and extend our sincere thanks to Adrian for his outstanding contribution over the past six years.”
