Hat Tricks of Promotions for Sales Team

Russell Roof Tiles has strengthened its national footprint with promotions across regional sales.

Three experienced regional Sales Managers with a combined 75 years’ experience in roofing and construction, have all been promoted to the role of regional Sales Director at Russell Roof Tiles.

Pioneering roofing firm Russell Roof Tiles is the UK’s leading independent manufacturer of concrete tiles and fittings and has become the only British roof tile manufacturer to have achieved an “Excellent” rating for responsible sourcing.

The firm has historically been market leader in the North, Scotland and Midlands but over the past 10 years has seen its strongest boost in sales in the South. This growth has gone hand-in-hand with an expansion of its product portfolio – which includes an extensive range of tiles and fixings ideally suitable for all market sectors and sympathetic to native roofing materials and styles across the UK.

Russell Roof Tiles provides roofing solutions for leading UK house builders, social housing and commercial projects, for whom quality sustainability and eco-credentials are of the utmost priority. The company specialises in manufacturing concrete roof tiles and plastic accessories.

The promotions see Alan Young become Regional Sales Director North & Scotland, James Pendleton, Regional Sales Director Midlands & South West and Paul Mcloughlin Mid Counties & Southern Sales Director.

James Pendleton has been with the business for 14 years and led the team that successfully expanded Russells into the South West. Alan Young started work at Russells straight from University initially as a trainee manager in production before moving into sales. As part of its strategic growth plan, Paul Mcloughlin was brought in two years ago to launch a new Southern Division and has 20 years’ experience with Russell Roof Tiles as well as with a key roofing contractor.

Andrew Hayward, Managing Director at Russell Roof Tiles comments; “These promotions recognise the continued hard work of the team and their contribution to the ongoing growth and development at Russells. These new roles demonstrate my support and confidence in Alan, James and Paul and their pivotal position in helping develop the business.”

Russell Roof Tiles manufactures on state of the art plants in Burton on Trent and Lochmaben and last year celebrated its 50th anniversary. The company has a multimillion capital investment programme to ensure that its production is highly efficient and as part of this has invested nearly £5 million over the past two years.
