Grant UK appoints two Area Sales Managers

Grant UK has appointed two Area Sales Managers, Jim Moody and Terry Townend, the former for central and southern Scotland and the latter for the Midlands.

Moody has a background in plumbing and in 2017 he stepped away from the tools after two decades to join a heating manufacturer as their technical sales manager for Scotland, he significantly grew the region but following a serious leg injury, he was forced off the road and took up new roles managing technical support before joining a skills training group where Jim completed the programme to become a trainer and assessor.

“I am excited to get out on the road again in my role as area sales manager for Grant UK,” said Moody. “Travelling over the most beautiful parts of the UK and chatting with some of the best heating engineers and customers are the best perks of the job. I am looking forward to building relationships with existing Grant customers as well as meeting new customers looking to work with Grant’s extensive product offering.”

Seventeen years ago, Townend moved to another national merchant where he joined as an Assistant Branch Manager before taking on an Area Sales role. In 2011, Townend was an original member of the merchant’s Specialist Renewable Sales team working closely with installers, developers and social housing clients to help them specify and install low carbon, renewable heating technologies. Having worked in a renewables specialist role for over a decade, Terry is incredibly experienced with air source heat pumps and low temperature systems.

“Like Jim, I am looking forward to my new role as an area sales manager for Grant UK,” said Townend. “With my experience of low carbon heating and my knowledge from working in the merchant network, I want to help make the transition into renewables as simple and easy as it can be, supporting existing and new customers.

“Not only does Grant UK have a great depth of quality products, they also have the support to back their products. From their whole house heating solutions and installer friendly heat pumps through to their extensive range of ancillary products, Grant UK’s offering stands out and I am looking forward to helping customers with Grant’s quality home heating solutions.”
