Travis Perkins Hire has announced its appointment of Adam Caulfield as managing director.
He joins from the business Sunbelt Rentals UK, where he previously held the role of national sales director and led a diverse sales team who managed over 20,000+ customers who work in construction, event and facilities management sectors.
Caulfield said “Travis Perkins has an enviable base of loyal customers who hire products every day to complete their projects. We want to help them save money, time and hassle by making sure alongside their materials we are their “go to” provider for hire. 
“We have a truly brilliant team, all highly experienced and talented through our network of more than 250 tool hire branches. No job is too small or large for the team and through our 65,000 owned assets and extensive rehire network we can help with any and all projects. We have a great opportunity to showcase our credentials as the UK’s major hire supplier to general builders and contractors.”
Before then Caulfield held managing director roles at HSS Hire & Wolseley. He has also held senior positions at some of the world’s best known brands including coffee brand Pelican Rouge, Disney and Coca-Cola.
Last month the Builders Merchant Journal reported on the announcement of the Group’s first step in its cost cutting drive which involved cutting jobs from its Northampton headquarters and employees from some of its builders merchant branches.
James Mackenzie, managing director of Travis Perkins, added: “With years of experience in hire, Adam brings a wealth of customer-led, commercial expertise and impeccable leadership skills to Travis Perkins. His expertise will prove invaluable as we continue our mission of being first choice for the trade.”
