Mr Grierson joins Brymec from SIG, where he held the position of regional sales director. He has a strong background in building and engineering services, having previously held positions at Alumasc and BSS Group.

He said: “The job principally involves talking to the key M&E and MEP contractors and explaining the benefits of using the Brymec supply chain. The company’s service is exceptionally strong and the breadth and quality of products we stock and sell are outstanding. Brymec’s people are knowledgeable and very well qualified.

“I’ve been in the industry for 25 years and I have never come across any other business that manages customer service so well, particularly from a communication point of view, so our customers always know precisely where they stand in relation to deliveries and any other matters. We give them all the information they need to make their procurement decisions.”

Glen Reiner, sales director at Brymec, added: “We are delighted to welcome Peter to Brymec and look forward to a long and fruitful working relationship. Peter's track record in the sector is first class and we are confident that he will make a positive contribution to our continued growth.”
