Klober has made three new key appointments as it aims to embrace a more diverse skillset to help bridge the skills gap.
With recent reports from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) stating that the unemployment level had dropped below vacancy numbers for the first time, the pressure on employers continues to outstrip supply.
In its latest recruitment drive, Klober says it identified this as an opportunity to bring a fresh perspective to its business. The three new area account managers who have joined the business are: Pedro Ramos for the South East, Thomas Watts for Yorkshire and the North East, and Joe Haley for South Wales and South West.
Pedro has spent the past six years managing the key accounts for a market leading spirit company. He has always had an interest in the construction sector due to his father running a construction firm and originally studied construction at college.
Thomas also joins from outside the industry but brings unique experience from dealing with a major luxury watch brand.
Joe and joins with over three years sales’ experience in the electrical industry, working with a range of wholesalers and contractors across South Wales and the South West.
Ben Edge, divisional sales manager at Klober, said: “As a management team we decided to shake up the recruitment brief and consider experience from outside the construction sector because we knew key account roles would utilise a similar skillset.
“This has hugely paid off in helping us to find some highly skilled individuals who have the initiative and strategic ability to work with customers of all sizes.”
