Alumasc, the premium sustainable building products, systems and solutions group, today announces that Paul Hooper, Chief Executive, will be retiring from Alumasc on 31 March 2026, after 25 years with the Group and 23 years in the role. The search for Paul's replacement is well progressed and an announcement regarding a successor will be made in due course.

Paul joined the Board of Alumasc as Group Managing Director on 2 April 2001 and was appointed Chief Executive in March 2003. Under his leadership, the Group transitioned from a diversified industrial group operating across the construction, industrial and engineering sectors to a focused building products business, supplying premium, sustainable products to markets supported by long-term environmental growth drivers. Under this refreshed strategy, the Group has achieved compound annual growth in underlying profit before tax of 13.3% over the last six years.

Vijay Thakrar, Chair of Alumasc, said:

"On behalf of the Board and our various stakeholders, I want to thank Paul for his dedicated and committed leadership of Alumasc over a period of significant change. He will be leaving a strong and agile group, well placed to capitalise on the opportunities in its markets and we wish him the best for his well-deserved retirement.

Paul will continue to lead the business over the coming months as we transition to a new Chief Executive and, alongside our other Executive Directors, will continue to focus on executing Alumasc's growth strategy and delivering long-term sustainable value to all our stakeholders."

Paul Hooper, Chief Executive of Alumasc, said:

"It has been a tremendous privilege to lead Alumasc. I am looking forward to stepping aside from full-time executive life at the end of March 2026 following a record performance of the Group and for each of its divisions in the year ended 30 June 2025. I would like to thank all my talented colleagues - past and present - for their support. I am proud of all that we have achieved together and look forward to handing over to a new Chief Executive who will continue to help to realise Alumasc's potential."
