Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
As the Hull based company continues to grow, WJ Group has appointed Neil Allison as Commercial Manager – a brand new role at the business, which is best known for its timber treatment services and DeckWright anti-slip decking.
Allison joins the company having recently returned to the UK with his family, following six years in Perth, Australia. Previously working for Deb Australia (a division of SC Johnson) as Regional Business Development Manager, Neil managed a territory that was half the size of Europe! Travelling is therefore of no concern to Allison at all. Prior to his time in Australia, Neil worked as Area Sales Manager for Deb in Yorkshire.
Of his new appointment to WJ Group, Allison said: “I’m excited to be joining a fast-growing company back in my home town of Hull. There are business development opportunities in all areas that we operate, including timber treatment, anti-slip decking and batch components. My experience gained both in the UK and Australia, of building strong relationships with customers and working closely with them to supply their specific needs should fit well with the timber industry and I’m looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead.”
