EJOT strengthens UK sales engineer support with dual appointment

20 Jul 2023

Leading fastener manufacturer EJOT welcomes two new faces to its UK technical sales team, with the appointment of Lauren Winn and Zack Outhwaite.

Bringing a strong sales background to EJOT, including in technical sales within the electrical and HVAC sectors, Lauren’s experience is ideally suited to her new role, which will involve working with roofing and cladding contractors in the north of England region stretching along the M62 corridor.

Having previously worked with an international company, Lauren is well placed to quickly develop an understanding of how to ensure EJOT customers can easily access the right products and service they need from within EJOT Group’s global portfolio.

Covering a region to the north east of Lauren, Zack will be tasked with supporting EJOT’s customer base in areas including Newcastle, Sunderland, County Durham and Teesside.

He brings with him several years of technical sales experience in the building supply chain, particularly in the home improvement market where his previous roles include working with an installer of windows, doors and conservatories, plus more recently a supplier of concrete products and blocks.

Strategy

Their appointments demonstrate EJOT UK’s strategy to expand its customer sales and support teams, ensuring contractors and specifiers in the building envelope market receive world-class service at a time when face-to-face sales operations are dwindling across the industry. It brings the total number of sales engineers within EJOT UK to seven, plus technical specialists, forming a contractor support team of ten.

Zack comments: “I’m really pleased to be joining EJOT and look forward to getting to know our customers across the North East of England, a region I know very well being Sunderland born and bred.

“The values and vision of EJOT shine through everything the company does, and I think that gives EJOT products clear advantages for roofing and contractors aiming to gain a competitive edge.”

Lauren adds: “Like Zack, I’m really excited to be joining the sales team. I could tell the minute I walked through the door that EJOT has a strong sense of why it does what it does, and that is really important for me. Also, the fact that EJOT has a loyal team with plenty of people who have worked here for many years, and that says a lot about the company’s character.”

Lauren and Zack, like all EJOT UK sales engineers, give contractors in their area a key day to day point of contact to maintain regular orders and discuss new requirements.

As they support customers at the early stages of project planning and costing, they can also provide them with access to additional technical resources, including the EJOT Applitec centre and its team of fastener specialists, who can also assist with training and best practice.
