Axis is delighted to welcome Carl Foss to the team as its new Area Sales Manager for the Southern Region, taking over from Steve Andrew, who retired during the summer.

Carl brings more than two decades of experience in automatic doors and aluminium façades, having worked across a range of sectors, including commercial, retail and healthcare.

Rob Brunero, Managing Director at Axis, says:

“We’re thrilled to welcome Carl to the team. His experience has enabled him to hit the ground running.

“Carl has a broad range of skills, including delivering CPD presentations, working with architects on specifications, advising and liaising with main contractors and fabricators, and undertaking surveying and project management.

“He will be a great asset to both our team and our customers. Welcome aboard, Carl!”

Carl Foss introduces himself

“I’m incredibly pleased to be here. I’m enjoying getting to know my colleagues, who have all been very welcoming, as well as learning everything there is to know about our products.

“Anyone working in this industry knows Axis and its reputation for market-leading doors, technical expertise and customer service, so becoming part of the team is a genuine privilege and pleasure.

“Away from work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, playing and coaching sports and, when I get the opportunity, cooking too. Spicy dishes and barbecues are my favourites, but I leave the Sunday roasts to the expert, my wife Sam!

“Sam and I have been married for 34 years and have two children. Our son Jack, 31, is about to make us grandparents for the first time, which we’re incredibly excited about. Our daughter Emily is responsible for getting me into football coaching.

“When Emily was progressing through the Surrey county age-group teams, I was invited to coach her under-16 squad. While Emily moved on to the higher age groups, and subsequently Reading, QPR and now Farnham, I stayed. Ten years later, I’m still coaching the county under-16 team.

“I’m also manager of the men’s Sunday league team that Jack plays for, and I thoroughly enjoy both roles.

“I also enjoy martial arts, which I’ve been practising for more than 40 years. Occasionally, I play golf too, although that’s more about catching up with friends and enjoying their company than winning – or at least that’s what I tell myself!

“It’s great to be here at Axis. I’m looking forward to next month’s Healthcare Estates exhibition, where I hope to meet many of our existing customers, as well as some new ones, on Stand F20. See you there!”

Welcome to the team, Carl!

Everyone at Axis is delighted to welcome Carl and looks forward to working with him.
