Mr Gibbs is a seasoned sales professional who joined Potterton as business development manager for the South East in December 2014. Prior to this, he was national sales manager at Wolseley, where he worked for more than 20 years.

Having most recently being named new build key account manager for the South, Mr Gibbs is set to bring a wealth of expertise to his new role.

As divisional sales manager, he will be working to drive the growing success of the Assure range with his team across the Southern regions, as Potterton looks to increase the range of outputs available.

Mr Gibbs said: “I’m very proud to be representing a company with such a stellar reputation. Potterton is recognised for its industry-leading innovation and listening to what its customers need for both the social and new build housing sectors, and I look forward to strengthening its position in the South.”
