Vaillant has appointed Aimee Patterson as an area sales manager covering the South-West of England.
Ms Patterson who won the BBC talent show 'Young Plumber of the Year' in 2010, will work with installers, merchants, housing associations, architects and specifiers.
Based in Wiltshire, she has been working in the heating industry since 2005. She joins Vaillant from Alpha Heating, where she was a technical sales manager. Though her role at Vaillant will be primarily sales based, she is a qualified heating engineer, with experience of installing and maintaining domestic and commercial heating systems.
