Klober has appointed Hannah Watts as Area Account Manager for the home counties, while Joey Hall will be responsible for East Anglia.

The appointments follow reports that 30% of roofing contractors saw their workloads grow in the last quarter of 2021, according to the NFRC’s State of the Roofing Industry Survey. And this isn’t set to slow, with 43% of roofers anticipating an increase in workload.

A former Cabine Crew for British Airways, Hannah Watts joins Klober after discovering her passion for construction as a Field Sales Executive at Avenir Roofing, later becoming a Business Development Executive there. She explained: “I knew this role would bring new challenges and felt that Klober would provide a supportive environment in which to thrive.

“My role as an Area Account Manager will involve operating as a key point of contact for customers and I’m most looking forward to getting under the skin of their businesses to understand their specific requirements and identify opportunities for growth.”

Joey Hall, who spent nine years in various positions at Celotex Insulation (later Saint Gobain Insulation), commented: “When the opportunity arose to join Klober in this role, it was one I was thrilled to take, particularly as I’ve always been interested in pursuing a position like this.

“In my first 12 months, I hope to build strong relationships with merchants and work in collaboration to help meet their business goals. I am particularly looking forward to travelling and gaining thorough knowledge of my area.”

Commenting on the new appointments, Chris Nicholls, Commercial Director at Klober, said: “We take pride in our people as this means our network of merchants and contractors can be confident that they are in good hands. That’s why I’m extremely pleased to have Hannah and Joey on board and excited to see what they achieve.”
