With over a decade’s worth of experience, Alex Brooks has joined the company as an Aluminium Extrusion Project Manager. Meanwhile, the Nottingham-based business has also hired Logan Lawrence as an external sales representative and Ashley Frearson as an internal sales representative.
Gary Peters, Director at Leengate Metals, said:
“We’re delighted to be able to begin expanding the sales team again and these three hires are as a result of how the market has changed and where we need to put our focus in the future.
“The COVID-19 pandemic radically changed how we needed to operate for three years but we’re now seeing the industry contract back to resemble pre-COVID times. While the role of digital communications has undoubtedly grown exponentially, we have a strong belief that people buy from people, and building strong relationships with our customers is vital.
“For 30 years, Bespoke Aluminium Extrusion has always been a very successful area of our business. We offer a premium product that can be fabricated, anodised or painted, stored on our own premises and delivered when required on our own transport.
“For a number of years, we have wanted to add a better technical service to customers and with Alex joining us, we now have that. Alex has worked for various Aluminium mills and understands the product, the industries and the challenges customers can often face. He can offer technical advice and even be a part of the design process of new products.
“Logan Lawrence joins the company with a lot of experience in the metals industry. He has a passion for developing customer relationships and understands the needs of individual businesses. He will be a valuable asset to the company and will be predominantly visiting customers face-to-face.
“Ashley will be working on the inside sales. He’s new to the metals industry but has joined us with good experience in account management and customer service. We’re delighted with the desire Ashley has shown to learn about our products and the industries we supply. He is a great addition to the team.”
