Appointment of Lee Petty as Commercial Director
Albion Valves (UK) Limited would like to congratulate Lee Petty on becoming Commercial Director, effective from the 1st of October 2025.
This news follows numerous announcements over the past couple of years regarding changes to Albion’s Board of Directors, but we are pleased that this appointment finalises this planned period of transition.
Lee Petty has been working at Albion Valves for the past 10 years, starting in 2015 as Quality Manager. Lee has been an instrumental part of Albion’s growth throughout the past decade; he worked closely with our supply chain and independent inspectors, ensuring our products met the high standards that we strive for, whilst also being a valuable member of the Operational Management Team within the business, which drives the business forward through continual improvement.
Lee’s new role will see him heading up the commercial function within the business. This will include tasks such as setting pricing structures, coordinating pricing amendments, and negotiating trading agreements, whilst also managing the internal Sales Team and our new Quality Manager, Sanwal Amjed.
Albion Valves (UK) Limited’s Board of Directors has completed its transition period. It is now made up of Darren Baxter (Managing Director), Stephen Bloomer (Financial Director), Dan Crosswaite (Sales Director), and, of course, Lee Petty (Commercial Director). David Keys will continue his new role as Albion Valves (UK) Limited’s Chairman.
Darren Baxter comments: “Lee has shown extraordinary dedication to Albion throughout his time as Quality Manager and since taking on the more commercial tasks too. I truly believe he will continue to be a great contributor to Albion’s business functions whilst also adding a different skillset and additional value at the Board level.”
Once again, we would like to thank all our customers for their ongoing support throughout this period of transition for Albion Valves. The new Board of Directors are enthusiastic about the future and believes that many exciting opportunities lie ahead for Albion.
