New UK Head of Sales appointed by Heras

Heras has appointed Helen Bithell as the company’s Head of Sales UK with a remit to “build for growth”.

Bithell – who brings with her nearly 20 years’ sales experience in senior positions within the construction industry – has joined the Doncaster-based company in this newly created position to help it continue building momentum around the sales and support of core products including perimeter fencing, gates, turnstiles and barriers.

Bithell joins from a welfare accommodation specialist for construction sites, where she was responsible for developing major accounts and building strong working relationships with tier one contractors.

Prior to that, Bithell rose through the ranks at the UK’s leading supplier of temporary and permanent modular buildings.

Heras has been busy putting in solid foundations over the last 12 months and this has seen the company recruit for a number of key roles.

“I have joined Heras at an exciting and pivotal time,” Bithell said. “There is so much scope to drive this business forward because of the clarity around the products, the quality, our competitive pricing and the lead times.

“I’m looking forward to partnering with new and existing customers to demonstrate why we are Europe’s leading end-to-end supplier of permanent and mobile perimeter protection solutions.

“Heras has recruited some very talented people to complement the existing team and it’s a very exciting prospect to be part of a team that will just keep getting better.”
