With having previous and invaluable experience as a Business Development Manager (for SES) I was appointed by the family business for the role of Head of Business Development. This role entails introducing Prop Pal (a new product launched in July 2018) to the UK tool hire market and building trade discussing the benefits of using Prop Pal over conventional methods used in the construction industry. In return having successfully created a large client portfolio consisting of national, large independent & regional hire stores (and still growing) this has enabled Prop Pal to become more accessible than ever for builders to hire and purchase in a number of hire stores.
