Published: 22nd April 2026
Chris Fitzpatrick is the Product Manager and business lead for Gemello® metal roofing systems, including the Gemello Revive over-clad system for roofs and walls.
Chris began his career in 1998 and has always worked for organisations supporting the construction market. He started at WS Atkins, where he spent four years, before moving to Alumasc, initially in marketing and later transitioning into estimating within their rainwater and drainage division.
In 2005, he joined Velfac Windows, working in estimating and project coordination, before moving to SIG. At SIG, he initially worked on Insulslab, supporting housebuilders, and then helped develop SIG360, an Energy Assessment Consultancy service providing quantified EPC Certificates and Specifications. In 2018, he joined the Performance Technology Group within SIG Specialist Markets in a product development role. Shortly thereafter, he moved to Galaxy Insulation in 2022, where he established a new windows division for the business. In 2024, Chris rejoined SIG Building Solutions to lead the Gemello team.
Throughout his career, Chris has gained extensive sector experience and professional qualifications, including an HND in Business, a Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) degree, and a BSI Certified Auditor qualification, ensuring that best practices are implemented in his workplace.
He joined the SIG Group in 2010 and has since supported the construction market with a variety of systems and product solutions. In 2024, he moved to SIG Building Solutions, where he now leads the development, positioning, and growth of the Gemello twin-skin and over-clad building envelope systems.
Outside work, he lives in St Helens with Wife Amy, Daughter Evy (18) and Son Benny (15) and an interesting fact about Chris is that he was the lead singer of a rock/indy band called Magic Pie in the late 1990’s playing local gigs in the Warrington area and he also used to be a semi-pro football player playing for Warrington FC and Warrington Rylands.
