It is with regret that we announce that John Laing passed away suddenly whilst on holiday. John served the company as a Sales Account Manager and Specification Rep for Scotland and was a loyal and valued member of the VEKA team.

John joined Veka four years ago to take up the Specification role for Scotland and the North East of England and over the past year or so he took on a dual role for the company by adding the Account manager role to his responsibilities. Whilst this was a new direction he took to it like a duck to water and built very strong relationships with his customers in a very short period of time.

Born in Dundee, John went to school at Langside Academy in Dundee and progressed to Edinburgh University where he completed one year of an Environmental degree. He then went to Napier University where he completed a four-year course to achieve a BSc in Science with Industrial Studies. On leaving university he joined Marley on their graduate training scheme. He eventually moved into sales and various other technical sales positions, which led him to the PVC-U window and door market.

During the four years John has been with Veka, he has become an integral part of the department and the company; he will be sorely missed both as a friend and as a colleague.

John leaves a wife and two children.
