Senior takes the lead on sustainability with new appointment

  • 3 Feb 2025

Senior Architectural Systems, the UK’s largest privately-owned manufacturer of aluminium windows, doors, and curtain walling, has appointed Luke Osborne to the newly created role of UK sustainability lead.

Luke brings with him a wealth of industry experience, having worked with a number of major building products manufacturers to help establish and develop environmental initiatives, sustainability policies, and reliable carbon data sources.

In his new role, Luke will advance the existing work Senior has been doing to reduce the environmental impact of its business operations, and provide its customers with accurate calculations relating to embodied and operational carbon. Key to this will be the development of environmental product declaration (EPD) documents across Senior’s extensive range of aluminium windows, doors, and curtain wall systems, as well as a robust roadmap to support Senior’s net zero, biodiversity, and waste reduction targets.

Luke will work closely with Senior’s architectural advisory team to support the company’s main contractors and specification partners, as well as ensuring that its network of fabricators and installers can also benefit from the company’s investment in sustainability.

‘Driving sustainability’

Luke says: “My role here at Senior Architectural Systems will be focused on driving sustainability across the whole business and building on what is already a strong foundation. Senior has made significant advances in recent years, particularly in developing its product range and using lower-carbon aluminium.

“I am looking forward to working with both colleagues and customers to ensure that the work we are doing really makes a difference in terms of reducing our own carbon footprint, supporting supply-chain targets, and improving the standards for sustainability across the fenestration sector.”

Mark Wadsworth, Senior’s managing director, adds: “Sustainability has always been an important part of our ethos here at Senior, and I am delighted to have Luke on board to help us continue our journey and take us to the next level. We are proud to be UK-owned and UK-based, which gives us means that our sustainability policies and procedures directly align with the specific needs of our UK customers.

“Luke will take the lead on this next chapter of our sustainability strategy, supporting our customers to achieve compliance with the relevant regulations, targets, and the proposed UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard.”
