July 1, 2026 – United Kingdom. PohlCon UK has appointed Lee Braham as its new Managing Director, bringing over two decades of leadership experience to drive the company’s expansion into new markets, including M&E contracting and the rapidly growing data centre sector.
Lee’s career spans military service, industrial plant rental, and engineering and manufacturing roles with global businesses headquartered across the DACH region. Most recently, he spent ten years in UK electrical and electronics distribution, with a focus on industrial applications, experience that has sharpened his expertise in business turnaround, strategic growth and team development.
“What excites me most is the opportunity to work alongside a committed, positive and hugely capable team, at an exciting moment in the wider PohlCon Group’s evolution. I was attracted by the chance to bring support, direction and clarity to a knowledgeable, skilled team backed by a strong and developing brand. There’s enormous potential here, and I’m looking forward to helping unlock it.”
Lee’s priorities for the next 12 months centre on understanding and supporting the existing team, strengthening customer relationships, and aligning processes for growth. He has identified two clear opportunities: expanding PohlCon UK’s presence in the CPD market, and accelerating growth of its PUK cable support systems across M&E and data centre construction.
Looking further out, Lee sees PohlCon UK building on its core strengths while diversifying into new markets.
“Over the next three to five years, we’ll keep strengthening our position around our core products while developing client training and diversifying into new markets. Everything we do reinforces our commitment to being a ‘partner from start to future’, supporting customers at every stage of their projects.”
Lee describes his leadership style as open, fair, focused and positive, built on trust and honest debate.
“Fairness and the ability to have open discussions and healthy debate matter enormously to me. The best businesses are built on trust, collaboration and giving people the confidence to contribute their ideas.”
The construction sector continues to face market uncertainty, project delays and rising costs, pressures that ripple through the supply chain. Lee believes these conditions create an opportunity for suppliers who deliver genuine technical expertise and long-term partnership.
“We want to be more than a supplier. We want to be a trusted partner,” he said. “Our services will keep evolving to give the market greater support, and the PohlCon brand will be built on its people, creating opportunity, challenge and reward for those who embrace it.”
Reflecting on the road ahead, Lee is clear-eyed about the scale of the opportunity.
“We’ve only just begun a new chapter in PohlCon UK. We’re building on a strong pedigree, developing our services, entering new markets and investing in our people. The future is exciting and varied, and being part of that journey is both a privilege and an opportunity I’m genuinely excited about.”
