EH Smith Specialist Facades

• Director & General Manager

  • Jan 2006 - Jun 2012

  I founded and headed a specialist standalone £5m-turnover business within the EH Smith Group of Companies in 2006. This highly-profitable operation successfully reflected growing demand for modern construction techniques, moving away from wet trades and involving rain-screen and lightweight forms of building cladding. My team was at the vanguard of UK suppliers developing commercial partnerships and growing new markets with European-based suppliers. In addition to working with the specification sales sector, the sales effort was directed towards contractor, client, and installer purchasing markets. Show less
