EJOT UK has appointed Kevin Rackley as its first sector-dedicated business development manager for the flat roofing market.
Kevin steps up to the new role after 21 years in technical sales roles with EJOT, for the majority of that time as the company’s regional sales engineer for the South West. He will continue to work with customers in this territory in the short term before eventually handing over the reins to a newly appointed regional sales engineer in due course.
He has over 30 years’ sales experience with all areas of building and construction materials, with two thirds of his career specialising in flat roofing products with EJOT in the UK. He is also a CFA (Construction Fixings Association) certified tester.
As business development manager, Kevin will focus on enhancing and building new relationships with customers who specialise in flat roofing, along with OEM membrane manufacturers to co-develop best practice and key stakeholders within the industry.
He will drive EJOT’s strategy to develop its presence in this specialist roofing sector and support regional sales engineers to increase the market penetration for its advanced product portfolio.
Commenting on his appointment, EJOT UK’s sales manager for market unit construction, Richard Bowhay said: “This is a really progressive time for EJOT in the UK and the next phase in the development of our field-based sales team. We’re busy developing new team members for the future growth of the business which in turn, will allow experience and knowledge to be utilised in different ways as we look to partner and support the sector’s most prevalent manufacturers.”
