Offering training sessions to merchants and distributors across the East of England is a top priority for Actis‘ newly appointed area sales manager, Jerrell Paton
As area sales manager, Jerrell Paton will help increase awareness of the benefits of the Actis Hybrid range of insulation and insulating membrane products.
He aims to strengthen existing relationships with merchants and distributors and forge new ones throughout the East of England. Running training sessions and trade days for their sales teams and providing educational materials highlighting the benefits of the products to their customers will form a key part of his role.
Paton has seven years of experience in sales and customer service and has previously worked in the power industry.
Find out the benefits of how Actis products can help customers
Jerrell Paton said: “I enjoy building a rapport with people and am looking forward to extending my reach to merchants who haven’t yet had the benefit of finding out how Actis products can help their customers.
“Colleagues in other parts of the UK tell me merchants who’ve taken part in our training sessions have found them very helpful.
Actis’ products are quick, easy and clean to use
“Perhaps the main thing which surprises merchants and distributors is the fact that as well as being thermally efficient – which should go without saying – the products are so quick, easy and clean to use. These seem to the aspects which really catch their imagination and are big bonuses for their customers.
“Builders who haven’t had the advantage of knowing about the products may otherwise carry on using solid insulation with all the dust and aggravation that entails.”
Paton says the wider Actis team has been very supportive and helpful since he joined the company. “It’s more like a family really,” he said.
Regional sales director for the South East, Steve Ellis, who formerly combined his directorial role with managing sales in the East of the country, will be able to devote more time to growing the business in that corner of England.
He said: “It’s brilliant to have Jerrell on the team. He’s very personable and hard working – both important qualities for someone taking on a busy sales role.”
