EPDM roofing specialist Firestone Building Products says it has embarked on a growth strategy for commercial and industrial roofing with the appointment of product sales manager, Steve Clowes.
Responsible for driving sales opportunities for Firestone’s RubberGard EPDM roofing products and UltraPly TPO commercial roofing membranes range, Steve takes on the newly created post with 20 years experience in the roofing sector, bringing technical expertise in correct specification and installation of single ply membranes to the role. His remit is to engage with architects, specifiers, main contractors, roofing contractors and building surveyors across the UK and Ireland.
Steve’s career includes five years in a construction environment in site-based roles, providing him with an excellent understanding of practical specification considerations such as buildability, installation times and health and safety. He also has experience in sales, including fixing and adhesive systems for flat roofing installations.
Steve commented: “After two decades in the roofing sector, my new role gives me the opportunity to leverage all that knowledge and experience while applying it to a different range of products and working in a new environment.
“I had come into contact with Firestone in my previous role and saw them as a dynamic business with a very professional team and great staff retention. That all adds up to a very attractive opportunity and I’m looking forward to meeting existing and potential customers and helping them maximise the performance and lifespan of their industrial and commercial buildings.”
