SPECIALIST INSULATION MANUFACTURER AIM RECRUITS SIMON MAYES

Acoustic, fire and thermal insulation product manufacturer AIM has appointed Simon Mayes as Specification Manager.

Simon will work with specifiers and main contractors to determine the appropriate products to help them design high quality buildings and is available to give CPD presentations.

Simon has 20 years’ experience in the construction industry working for manufacturers such as British Gypsum, Saint Gobain Isover, Komfort, Cembrit, Siderise and, most recently, Proteus Waterproofing. He has held positions ranging from: business development manager, where he was responsible for framework agreements between British Gypsum and main contractors; and specification manager, working alongside architects, designers and main contractors; to national sales director.

“The majority of my experience has been within specification, working with architects and main contractors,” Simon explained. “I enjoy the technical side of sales where I can help clients understand and comply with the building regulations.”

The appointment is part of a major investment in sales and marketing at Acoustic Insulation Manufacturing, known as AIM. Already this year, the business has recruited Chris Dale to the role of Business Development Manager – North and will have news of a Business Development Manager – South in the very near future.

“Given the importance of specification, we are delighted to have recruited such a highly experienced specifier,” added Ian Exall, AIM’s Commercial Director. “Simon’s role will be key to the future growth of AIM. We have spent two years investing heavily in our product range (which is set to continue well into the future). Simon will be helping us bring our new and improved products to the attention of specifiers so that AIM products are a natural choice for the buildings they are designing.”
