Our Directors

John’s extensive knowledge and experience of the industry began developing in 1979 as a cavity wall insulation canvasser whilst at college. John is now Managing Director of Domestic and General Insulation Ltd which employs 380 staff and has a turnover of £23million…

Postponing his ambition to be an accountant, John started his own business, Sealed Heat, in 1983, employing three staff. Sealed Heat merged with Domestic and General in 1991 and John took the role as Sales Director, progressing to Managing Director in 1997

John’s role is to deliver the instructions set out by Domestic and General’s shareholders; to take their ideas and develop solid business plans and co-ordinate implementation. 

Ultimately, John steers Domestic and General and guides the business’s sales team, insulation contracting division, material manufacturing plant, heating and renewables division and network of UK-wide installing contractors.

John also sits at the head of finance for the company and ensures all plans and strategies are delivered within budget.   

John holds numerous business and industry qualifications as well as being a qualified insulation technician for UF Foam and mineral fibre.

During the past seven years with the company Paul has headed up a number of functions across the business and has recently started a new role as Commercial Director…

Paul formalised his link with Domestic and General in 2005, taking the permanent role as Health and Safety Manager. He was responsible for ensuring compliance with all industry health and safety requirements as well developing relevant staff training courses and quality procedures.

Becoming HR Manager the following year meant Paul also assumed responsibility for the company’s HR, technical and customer care functions.

Shortly after Paul took a new role for the company as HR Director during which time he reviewed the business’s structure, recruited key positions for the business in order for it to fulfil growth plans and achieve business goals.

In April 2011 Paul moved from HR to the role of Commercial Director; a new role to oversee commercial projects for the company, particularly focussing on the external wall insulation and home improvement markets.
