The training is likely to cover electronic access control, BIM, recent and upcoming changes to British and European standards, architectural ironmongery scheduling, sales and negotiation, and the latest updates to Building Regulations.
With over 25 years in the hardware and ironmongery industry, Douglas Masterson has extensive knowledge of all aspects of the trade from trade counter, estimating, specifying, contract management and field sales through to senior management.
Douglass comments: “The GAI provides education and technical support to many hundreds of people in the UK and internationally every year, so this new service is a natural extension to our well-known and highly regarded education programme.”

Registration has opened for LIFTEX 2025. Now in its 37th year, the show is the UK’s only dedicated exhibition for the lift, escalator and access industry and takes place only once every three years.
