Toby Kirwin has joined the company after working for several years as a branch and sales office manager for Jewson in the south of England before leaving to take up a project management role in building redevelopment schemes.
He will initially be based at Gill & Robinson’s headquarters in Newcastle but will also spend time at the four branch offices in order to get to know the rest of the sales team and their customers.
After visiting the main supplying mills Mr Kirwin will then start developing his own accounts.
