Kingspan Environmental has appointed Neil Overton as trade sales director for the UK. 

He is heading up a team of UK-wide area sales managers overseeing Kingspan’s market-leading product portfolio of hot water cylinders, solar thermal evacuated tube collectors and flat plate options (in-roof or on-roof), plus air source heat pumps.

Mr Overton’s immediate focus is on building a strong trade team with the imminent launch of some exciting new products in the renewables and cylinders range. He is also spearheading a new campaign which puts an increased focus on relations with smaller and medium sized installers.

Before joining Kingspan, he was commercial director at Yorkshire Copper Tube and, prior to that, gained 30 years’ experience working within the heating and plumbing sector alongside major UK plumbing and building merchant groups and major retail chains.
