Talon has appointed Jade Summers as Regional Manager for the south east of England, boosting its presence across London and the Home Counties and supporting merchants with on-the-ground product support.

Joining Talon’s team of six Regional Sales Managers, Summers will be on the road building strong, long-term relationships with merchants across the region. In her role she will support customers with Talon’s PipeSnug and FlueSnug, full range of pipe and heating pipe clips and associated fixings and fasteners, as well as handle merchant enquiries, promote point-of-sale solutions and help grow Talon’s distribution footprint.

Summers brings 18 years of sales experience to the role, having previously worked for HPS (UKPS) as a Bathroom Showroom Manager. Her hands-on, customer-focused background fits naturally with Talon’s relationship-led approach, combining practical product support with a clear understanding of what works at the counter.

Alongside her sales remit, Summers is already playing an active role in Talon’s support for National Apprentice Week. She will be heading out to visit colleges, giving apprentices the chance to get closer to the products they are learning to install on site. The sessions are designed to be practical and engaging, with product talks, live demonstrations and installation guidance that link classroom learning directly to real-world application.

Summers commented: “I’m really excited to be joining Talon and getting out across the South East.“Building strong relationships with merchants and installers is a huge part of the role and it’s great to be part of a business that puts real emphasis on quality products, hands-on training and supporting apprentices as they develop their skills.”
