Strong pipeline of work enables SMART Balustrades to recruit

Staffordshire-based SMART Balustrades has further bolstered its team with the addition of new sales estimator, Josie Oliveri.

This is the second new hire the business has taken on in the last six months, bringing the team to seven strong, as it continues on its upwards trajectory.

In her new role, Josie will be responsible for providing estimates for the firm’s national client base in the commercial and residential sectors. With almost 20 years’ experience in the handrail and balustrades industry, she is well equipped to generate new leads for the firm in its main industries – hotel, leisure, education and retail.

Set up by brothers David and Jonathan Hough in 2017, SMART Balustrades provides and fits a range of bespoke glass and stainless-steel balustrades, as well as Juliet and platform balconies – some of which are manufactured at its Burntwood production facility.

Wolverhampton-based Josie, said: “Joining the SMART Balustrades team as a sales estimator is an exciting time for me. I have worked in the balustrades industry for many years and know the product and sector very well.

“The SMART Balustrades team are fantastic; leaders in their industry and incredibly welcoming. I’m looking forward to developing new client relationships and contributing to the ongoing growth of the business.”

David Hough, managing director of SMART Balustrades, said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Josie to the business. Adding her skills and experience to the team was too good an opportunity to miss and she’ll be key to helping us to win high value contracts.

“We hope to hire additional team members before the end of the year to help us meet the increased demand for our services. We’ve had a very strong year despite the current economic challenges which we are grateful for and it’s great to have Josie onboard.”

SMART Balustrades is part of the Unitech Group, and it designs and manufactures its products at Unitech Group’s 75,000 sq. ft. production facility in the heart of the Staffordshire.
