Press Release

John Tebbit to join Robust Details Ltd as MD

Mike Freshney, Chairman of Robust Details Ltd is pleased to announce the appointment of John Tebbit as Managing Director. 

John has been a non-executive director of Robust Details Ltd since the company was first formed in 2004 during which time he has been deeply involved in the maintenance of technical standards, the approval of new Robust Details and generally safeguarding the interests of scheme customers.

Robust Details are pre-tested designs for separating walls and floors that provide high performance sound insulation.  This provides greater certainty to the building process as it doesn’t rely on pre-completion testing in order to demonstrate compliance with Requirement E1 of the Building Regulations (England and Wales).

John will report directly to the Robust Details Ltd CEO, Dave Baker, managing the company’s technical resources and leading with the development of new business opportunities.

Dave said:

‘I’m really pleased that John has agreed to join the executive team at Robust Details Ltd.  He has been an integral part of the company since day one, and his extensive knowledge, experience and drive will be pivotal in our mission to extend the principles of the scheme into new areas.  We are both committed to helping our customers to meet the many and varied challenges presented by increasingly demanding technical standards and the likely future requirements of industry regulation’.

John said:

‘Robust Details Ltd has been a great success story, providing our customers with a simplification to the building regulation process.  Now, as we celebrate our 10 year anniversary, I’m looking forward to continuing to maintain the high standards set by the company.  I believe that the principles of the now-mature robustdetails® Part E scheme can be effectively applied elsewhere and I look forward to helping our customers realise the wider benefits that such an approach can bring’.
