Encon Construction Products, part of The Encon Group, continues to invest in growth with the appointment of Richard Wade as the new Sales Director for the specialist division.
Encon Construction Products was introduced to the Group in 2019, strengthening its position as the leading distributor in specialist markets. The division supplies a wide range of masonry components, concrete and reinforcement, waterproofing, construction chemicals, geotechnical, and groundworking products to the UK’s major building and infrastructure sectors.
This includes tailored solutions from market-leading brands such as Ancon, Birtley/Expamet, GCP, RIW, Sika, Tec Tie, Visqueen and Weber.
Encon’s specialist team in construction products has grown significantly over the last two years, underpinned by the strong demand in the sector and the company’s expert knowledge, widespread experience and national distribution.
This latest appointment opens new opportunities for the division and supports the team’s focus on continual development and expansion.
Vaughan Taylor, Strategy Director – Encon Construction Products, comments: “Richard brings a wealth of experience in our key markets, having previously worked for leading brands such as Keyline, Tarmac and Burdens.
“He has a solid understanding of the products and the required value proposition. Richard’s knowledge enhances our exceptional technical expertise and I look forward to working closely with him as we enter an exciting new phase for the division.”
