Jack is already an experienced Area Sales Manager, with a successful history of working with stakeholders on commercial projects. He joined REHAU in September 2020 as a Product Management Assistant, following the completion of his Business Information Technology degree that summer, before being promoted to Area Sales Manager for plumbing and heating solutions.

As part of his new role, Jack will use his skills and detailed knowledge of the industry to build the presence of REHAU’s heat networks in the Southwest of England and South Wales. His role will be focused on promoting key products such as the recently launched RAUVIPEX and CLIP-FLEX, which all form part of the complete district heating system by REHAU. 

“I am extremely excited to be expanding my role and making the move into our highly successful district heating team,” Jack says. “I have pushed myself and worked very hard to achieve this appointment, and it is great to see that the success and strong customer networks I have developed throughout my time in the Underfloor Heating & Plumbing Products division has not gone unnoticed.

“While the transition will undoubtedly come with some challenges, I hope to leverage my existing contacts and company knowledge to make a running start. I will be channelling all my efforts into boosting REHAU’s profile in this key region, and hopefully I can continue to build on the previous successes there.”

Jack is set to take over from longstanding Area Sales Manager Nigel Smith, who is retiring after 12 years of service with REHAU.

“While my inside knowledge of the company has made the onboarding process to the new role much easier, Nigel’s help, support and guidance has been truly invaluable.”

Newly appointed Jack’s emphasis on boosting REHAU’s presence in the area highlights his own progression within the company, becoming an Area Sales Manager only five years after joining REHAU from university. He has engaged with external training courses provided by REHAU which have focused on guiding his development and leading him to this appointment.

REHAU’s commitment to fostering an environment for development has recently been recognised in the form of a Great Place to Work® award, with REHAU also placing within the top 100 Best Places to Work™ in the large category.

“On behalf of REHAU, I would like to congratulate Jack on his appointment to his new role,” concludes Steve Richmond, Head of Marketing and Technical at REHAU UK. “This promotion into the district heating team is extremely well deserved, and we strongly believe that Jack will strengthen and expand our presence in the area, building on his previous successes.

“It has been great to watch Jack grow and develop in his career here at REHAU, and as someone who has worked for REHAU for over a decade, it is testament to the company culture and the team members who have worked with Jack and aided his career progression throughout the years that this has been made possible.”
