JG Speedfit is expanding its nationwide sales and technical support network so it can work more closely with merchants and plumbers throughout 2017 and create much higher demand for its range.

It has appointed Phil Lacey as national account manager. He will strengthen the account management team and advance relationships and drive sales with stocking partners. Oliver Horne has joined as regional sales manager and will take on responsibility for the North West. James Steadman-Young has been promoted to a regional sales manager role, where he and his team will drive sales and build relationships in the company’s newly formed central division. Jim Burge has taken on a technical sales role for East Scotland and his customers will benefit from his technical experience gained during his time as a qualified plumber.

The restructuring is part of the company’s mission to work more closely with merchants and end users of its push-fit products.

The company has also employed a number of successful graduates to area sales manager roles. David McCullough has been appointed area sales manager – West Scotland.

JG Speedfit has enjoyed one of its most successful years in 2016, giving away over £30k worth of prizes through product promotions, becoming a member of the Builder’s Merchants Federation and launching significant developments throughout its product range. The company has secured a range of high profile projects, including supplying a JG Speedfit system to a new East London housing development, and contributing underfloor heating for a new sanctuary built within Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
