Roca Group UK is delighted to introduce a new addition to the Residential Specification team, Barry Gladwish. His main responsibilities will be to grow relationships and manage specifications with existing regional developers and the regional offices of national house builders. Barry will also be tasked with winning incremental specifications for the Roca and LAUFEN ranges with regional developers.
“Barry is joining us at a key time, when we’re starting to feel a sense of optimism in the housing market,” says Liam Buxton, New Build Director, Roca Group UK. “We need to be able to support and build our relationships with the industry and someone of Barry’s experience will be a huge asset to Roca Group in achieving this. I’m looking forward to working closely with him.”
We asked Barry to tell us about his previous experience and what he is looking forward to in his new role.
Barry Gladwish, Residential Specification Manager:
“Most recently, I’ve been working for Akzonobel in a national specification role, selling predominantly into the housing market. And before that, I worked within builders merchants for 13 years, giving me an understanding of construction and materials as a whole. Therefore, although I’m new to bathrooms – and there is a lot to learn – there are many similarities between specification of sanitaryware and paint products, in terms of design and functionality.
“I also have long-standing relationships with many developers from my time in merchants and I’m really looking forward to working with these customers once again and introducing them to Roca and LAUFEN. The brands can be utilised across all types of housing, so targeting a wide range of developers is an exciting prospect.”
