Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Holcim UK has appointed Robert Lindop as its national housing manager to support the growth of its concrete block portfolio within the UK housebuilding market.
Lindop brings more than 35 years of industry experience, having began in the merchant and product distribution sectors before moving into roles focused on block solutions for housebuilders. In his new position, he will oversee the delivery and promotion of Holcim’s block offering, including the Star Performer range, to housebuilders across England and Wales.
His appointment follows the retirement of sales director Martin Fulwell, who was instrumental in driving the Holcim-owned Besblock for over 40 years.
With the UK government committed to delivering significant new Future Homes Standard-ready housing within this parliament, a key priority will be introducing Holcim’s high specification products to housebuilders nationally with specific focus on the South West and North West.
Lindop says: “Housebuilders have strict energy efficiency targets to meet and need to reduce the embedded carbon in new homes. I’m looking forward to working closely with customers to assist them in not only modeling their homes but also demonstrating Star Performer’s efficiency, thermal performance, regulatory compliance and whole-house benefits in association with our own SAP assessors.
