Grant Westfield has a new Specification Sales Manager for Scotland after promoting Helen Read to the position.

Read, who has worked for Grant Westfield for nearly 8 years, has over 25 years’ experience in the KBB sector, having spent time with trade merchants and high-end independent showrooms.

She began her career with Grant Westfield as Business Development Manager for Scotland’s Central Belt region before moving to cover the East area.

In her new position as Specification Sales Manager for Scotland, Read will collaborate closely with the Scottish Sales Team, while supporting the wider UK team on national projects. She will focus on the social housing and new build markets and will also be looking to grow Grant Westfield’s business in the hotel and care sectors as well as student accommodation.

Read said: “I absolutely love working for Grant Westfield and I’m looking forward to getting my teeth into my new role, which gives me the opportunity to utilise my experience and skillset to make a significant impact on the company’s goals while contributing to a different sector of the business.”

John Mortimer, Managing Director at Grant Westfield, added: “Helen is a much-valued member of our team, and we’re delighted to see her progress her career with Grant Westfield as she embarks on this new challenge. I know that she will excel in her new position.”
