Klober Appoints New Commercial Director to Support Roofing

With 45% of construction companies anticipating a rise in output during the year ahead, according to an IHS Markit survey, Klober’s timely appointment of Chris Nicholls as Commercial Director will help the leading roofing and ventilation component manufacturer to meet contractor demand for advice and project support in 2021 and beyond.

Pressure to build new homes at a higher volume and speed, alongside the growing home refurbishment market, including loft conversions, side and rear extensions, means that the appointment of Chris Nicholls comes at a time where roofing guidance and project support is
in even greater demand.

Chris brings 17 years’ commercial and residential building sales expertise to the role, and at Klober he will be tasked with leading the customer and sales teams. Chris’ experience in developing sales strategy and delivering a forward-thinking and customer focused approach, will ensure that construction companies are provided with industry-leading service and support. Chris will also be responsible for identifying new opportunities for Klober to work with customers.

Commenting on his appointment, Chris said “Klober is a market leader in the roofing and construction sector with a quality portfolio of roofing solutions that customers know and trust. I look forward to building on the success and heritage of the Klober name by working with our teams to develop important relationships with existing and future customers. My ambition is to provide an honest, straight forward approach to doing business with Klober, along with
developing a high level of engagement across Klober teams.”
