Ray Nowell (pictured), Technical Officer of the Door & Hardware Federation (DHF), has been elected Vice President of the European Door and Shutter Federation, which governs trade associations of industrial and commercial doors and shutter makers across Europe.

Ray was elected at the recent General Assembly of the European Door and Shutter Federation held in Italy. His election comes at an important time for the EDSF, which is due to expand further following the enlargement of the European Union.

The EDSF was set up in the late 1980s to look after the interests of door and shutter makers during the drafting of harmonised test methods for European standards.

Ray, who has more than 30 years' experience in the design, production and installation of virtually all types of steel industrial doors, has been the Technical Officer for the DHF since 2002. He has been chairman of the EDSF Harmonisation Group One, which is charged with the task of covering the harmonising of fire products, for the past two years. www.dhfonline.org.uk
