ANDERSON ROOFING SUPPLIES - Key Persons
Gavin came to us from a local multi-chain merchant approximately 12 years ago. Now Sales Director, Gavin is based in the office and manages the counter-sales team as well as providing technical advice and undertaking estimates from architectural drawings, a service we provide free of charge to our customers, and to the public and self builders.
Now with us for 8 years, as Business Development Manager, Graham has over 30 years of experience in the pitched roofing industry, much of which he spent working in various roles for the major roof-tile manufacturer, Redland. Graham undertakes site visits on behalf of our customers to offer technical advice, provide site assistance and to provide estimates (either on site or from drawings) and quotes.
Martin was instrumental in establishing Anderson Roofing Supplies as a professionally run business, almost single handedly providing the leadership and knowledge with regard to many of the 'behind the scenes' activities necessary to ensure the smooth running of a successful, well managed and, most importantly, customer driven team. In this capacity, Martin was Company Secretary and a Director until his well earned retirement in 2015. Martin had joined Paul and Steve after a career working for an independent Builders Merchant and also the major tile manufacturer, Redland. Well liked, and respected by everyone who worked for, or alongside, him, Martin now enjoys travelling and pursuing his passion for photography amongst his other interests.
Nathan has accumulated a wealth of experience over the 9 or so years he has worked for the company, both in the yard and working in the sales function. Nathan has often filled in to assist with logistics and operational activities and has now been rewarded for this by being promoted to Operations Manager as of March 2022. Nathan will continue to assist the sales side of the business in his new role.
Paul founded Anderson Roofing Supplies in 2003, along with Steve, with the express purpose of putting customer service back into the industry. With over 30 years experience, working for some of the industry's best known roofing merchants in the South-East, Paul's passion and dedication to providing the best possible advice and service remained undiminished. Paul took well deserved retirement in April 2020. Both staff and customers hope Paul enjoys a long and healthy break!
Steve is a co-founder of the company and has similarly worked for many years in the merchant side of our industry. Following Paul's retirement, Steve has now taken on the role of Managing Director. Steve has been the driving force behind many of the new product ranges that we stock including rainwater goods and insulation. Since Paul and Anne's retirement, Steve has also taken over many of the back office functions, but is still very much hands-on with the sales and procurement teams.
