It has just been announced that Visqueen Building Products, one of the building products sector’s more prominent and reputable suppliers of structural waterproofing products and gas protection systems, has promoted an existing member of the team to be its brand new National Key Account Manager, Laura Guy. Announced by the company’s Commercial Director himself, Phil Bull, it has been argued that the promotion is due to her performance in her previous role as Business Development Manager. With Laura’s responsibilities and reach to be adapted in line with her new position, Laura is expected to take an increasingly prominent role in the company’s day-to-day operations, playing a role in ensuring the continued commercial performance of the company. Most specifically, Laura will be seen to work alongside many of Visqueen Building Products’ larger, key clients, working to build the relationship and supportive role for such clients. Phil Bull went on to comment that: “Her industry expertise coupled with her strong business acumen will prove to be great assets to the role and we look forward to supporting her in her latest venture at Visqueen.” Having joined the organisation back in 2009, Laura has worked her way up the ranks, all the way from being a customer-focused team leader, with steady, regular promotions through the ranks. Of course, the steady speed at which she has risen through the company’s ranks only goes to highlight her capabilities and her understanding of the sector itself. Of her accomplishments at the company thus far, one of the most prominent has been the launch of the Visqueen Damp Protection Centre, which brought together eighteen different merchants to serve as an approved supply chain for Visqueen’s damp protection product range. This, then, has proven successful through the provision of national distribution through a trusted centre network. For those seeking out any of the branches, a publicly accessible directory of all such centres is available for easy location.

And setting him off to a running start, it has already been confirmed that Sika has presented Dragan Maksimović with a target of improving sales by 6% in the first year, whilst simultaneously also maintaining profits. He will replacing former General Manager Ivo Schaedler, who has since been promoted to Area Manager Europe South. Key areas of focus for Dragan Maksimović’s work will look to the enhancement of the company’s existing specifier network, as well as improving upon the relations maintained between the organisation’s key distributors. This, of course, ties in the company’s overarching goal to consistently secure more and more major contracts and will support the company’s growth plans through supply chain support. Firm in the belief that teamwork and the people behind the brand are the way forward for Sika, Dragan Maksimović is expected to bring a very relationship-centric approach to the organisation, both internally and externally, to improve collaboration and working partnerships. He added: “Sika UK is a strong company and I am looking forward to the challenge of growing the brand in the UK.”
