He also held a similar role with Carpet and Flooring Ltd, a £100 million business distributor to the building industry. He started his career with AAH Central Heating Supplies, which was bought by Travis Perkins.

Burton Roofing Group’s Managing Director Ina Leigh commented on Smith’s appointment: “Jon has excellent experience and an impressive track record in managing multi-sites and achieving operational efficiencies. He has expert insight in streamlining businesses by implementing processes and systems that bring effectiveness, but he also has the leadership skills to motivate teams in a positive culture.
