10 years working within the construction industry, I have come to know Marmox as a highly respected global manufacturer. The company has an ambitious agenda for the UK market and there is definitely a lot more we can do to explore and work with all the different customers and merchants we have. Multiboard is a huge seller, but Thermoblock probably offers even more potential as a unique solution to thermal-bridging issues. I also believe that Fireboard is a product which will come into its own shortly due to changes in legislation, but still requires work on explaining the concept to specifiers. I will be covering the whole of the southern region, from East Anglia as far as the Midlands and across to Cornwall, including customers in Wales.”
Ryan and his partner have two daughters aged eight and eleven. When he isn’t spending time with his family or walking their two dogs, Ryan is a keen squash player as well as a fanatical follower of Newcastle United FC. Marmox’s Director, Jonathan Parsons commented: “We are very pleased to announce that Ryan has come on board the Marmox UK train. He has a wealth of industry knowledge and is keen to get to know our client base and is already bringing new distributors onboard. We will be focusing his efforts in the south of the UK and would encourage our customers to get in touch with hm, whatever their requirements might be.”
