Accsys has bolstered its sales and marketing team with the appointment of Laurent Valensi as sales manager and Clemence Guilloteau as marketing coordinator in France to support the growth in demand for Accoya wood in the country.
The two appointments will be supported by the existing heads of sales and marketing for the region.
Laurent brings with him close to two decades of experience in the wood industry with extensive sales experience and can speak five languages. Clemence joins from Decathlon where she worked as a merchandiser.
The team will focus on developing The Accoya Approved Manufacturer Programme in France as well as working on an Approved Installer Programme.
Laurent commented: “The demand for high performance and sustainable building products is growing and Accoya wood delivers on both properties. I’m excited about strenghtening our relationships with French distributors and manufacturers as well as building new relationships.”
Laura Keily, group head of marketing, added: “France is, as yet, a relatively untapped market for us with huge potential. We are already seeing a lot of interest in both Accoya and Accoya Color and having Laurent and Clemence on board will help ensure we can maximise opportunities and bring the benefits of Accoya to a much wider customer base.”
