Robust UK appoints head of product and compliance

22 April 2026

ROBUST UK, a leading manufacturer of steel door solutions, has appointed Rob Mottram as head of product and compliance to support growth and innovation across its range.

Mottram brings over 10 years of industry experience and has previously worked as technical manager for the ARRONE range at HOPPE (UK), where he gained in-depth knowledge of door hardware and testing and certification processes that underpin product performance and compliance. 

Having previously worked at Robust UK as a design engineer, production supervisor and research and development manager, Mottram returns to drive product innovation and strengthen compliance. 

"We’re thrilled to welcome Rob to the Product and Compliance team. His extensive experience, time spent at HOPPE, technical expertise and strong understanding of our business and culture from his previous time with us will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our range of fully certified and compliant products," said Emily Mathews, general manager at Robust.

As head of product and compliance, Mottram will be responsible for leading the Research and Development and Drawing teams, playing a key role in driving innovation, ensuring compliance and supporting the continued development of Robust’s product portfolio. 

"I’m delighted to be back at Robust to contribute to the continued growth and innovation of its extensive product portfolio. It is a proud moment to be leading two teams that I have previously been part of, helping to make a real impact on product innovation and compliance," he stated.

Mottram is a qualified Certificated Standards and Regulations Advisor (CertSRA) and also holds Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) Diplomas in Door Systems (RegDS) and Access Control (RegAC), bringing a depth of expertise that will be invaluable in this new role.

As an active member of the GAI Education Committee, Mottram's dedication to the industry extends beyond his role, as he contributes to the development of industry training, delivers educational sessions and supports examination processes. He is also further expanding his expertise by completing a Diploma in Principles of Firestopping, deepening his knowledge of the critical role doors play in passive fire protection.

His appointment is a strategic move for Robust UK and shows a commitment to advancing product development and driving innovation.
