Ariel Plastics has appointed Jennifer Brookes as its new sales director.
The company said Jen’s appointment is pivotal for the business as it looks to strengthen existing industry relationships, identify new opportunities and launch new products.
Jen is strengthening the sales team, it noted, and is working with the business’s owners on expansion plans.
She said: “Ariel Plastics has been the UK’s leading plastics distributor for a long time – but it is ripe for a transformation that can take it to the next level, and I am thrilled to have joined Ariel at such an important time.”
Jen has taken over from Paul Goddard, who has stepped back after 30 years with the business. Paul will still be actively involved in his new role as commercial sales manager.
Jen added: “The vast majority of Ariel Plastics products are manufactured in the UK by Brett Martin, which keeps sustainability at the core of everything it does – recycling virtually all waste material from its manufacturing process and generating a significant proportion of the renewable energy it uses.”
“And then there are specialisms such as our cut-to-size service for polycarbonate, acrylic and styrene sheets, which are delivered within three to five days nationwide.
“We’ll also go on the front foot promoting our products, including corrugated roofing sheets, bitumen roofing sheets, glazing sheets, multiwall polycarbonate, metal tile systems, roof ventilation, dry fix roofing, roof drainage, roofing membrane, rooflights and cladding sheets. And then there are some new products that we are nearly ready to bring to market.”
