Trade Fabrication Systems (TFS) has appointed Greg Beers to the newly created role of Business Development Executive.

Beers has a long track record of working in branch, sales account management and serving merchants as a supplier, giving him a unique appreciation of merchant needs. During his 17-year career, his sector specific experience has been acquired through roles with leading brands that include B&Q, Jewson and SIG.

Following the launch of its ‘one-stop-shop’ machining services which include CNC routing, T&G, edge and banding, TFS offers merchants a complete offsite solution to finish any timber substrate.

Beers has been brought on board to provide dedicated support to national and independent merchants using this service, while helping new branches better understand the commercial advantages of offsite processing.

Howard Morris, Managing Director of TFS, explained: “We’ve made significant investment in our machining and finishing capabilities over the past few years.

“As merchants increasingly tap into the benefits of these services, we recognised the need to invest in specialist customer support – which is where Greg comes in.

“His in depth understanding of the merchant sector will enable us to keep innovating and help enhance our merchant offering even further.”

Commenting on his new role, Beers said: “This is an excellent time to be joining TFS. The solutions we can offer do genuinely deliver value to merchant ranges.

“I’m looking forward to getting out on the road to show existing and new customers how our offsite services can help them to create and maintain competitive advantage.”
