Talon has appointed Jade Summers as Regional Manager for South East England.
Summers will be responsible for building strong, long-term relationships with merchants across London and the Home Counties. Her role will also include supporting customers with Talon’s PipeSnug and FlueSnug products, the full range of pipe and heating pipe clips, and associated fixings and fasteners. In addition, she will handle merchant enquiries, promote point-of-sale solutions and help grow Talon’s distribution footprint.
“Building strong relationships with merchants and installers is a huge part of the role, and it’s great to be part of a business that places real emphasis on quality products, hands-on training and supporting apprentices as they develop their skills,” said Summers.
Alongside her sales remit, Summers is already playing an active role in Talon’s support for National Apprentice Week. She will be visiting colleges to give apprentices the opportunity to get hands-on with the products they are learning to install on site. The sessions are designed to be practical and engaging, featuring product talks, live demonstrations and installation guidance that link classroom learning directly to real-world application.
Summers brings 18 years of sales experience, having previously worked for HPS (UKPS) as a bathroom showroom manager. Talon said her hands-on, customer-focused background aligns well with the company’s relationship-led approach, combining practical product support with a clear understanding of what works at the counter.
Talon will exhibit at the NMBS Show in April, where it will showcase a selection of its flagship products to attending merchants.
