- Collaborate with M&E contractors and facilities management professionals.
- Develop strong partnerships with merchant and distribution partners such as Wolseley, BSS, and City Plumbing.

- Contract packages from project drawings, sanitaryware schedules, and specification documents.
- Manage projects from initial lead generation, through surveys, business case development, right up to specification and close.
