background
The challenge
Ken Smith Roofing, a well-known Newcastle business with 30+ years’ experience, wanted to secure more profitable roofing work and expand into supplying materials through a new trade counter.
They needed consistent, high-quality local leads – with full visibility on where every enquiry came from.
“We have had a couple of account managers throughout the years but David has been our best by far – his strategic insights have made a real difference to our business. He’s an outstanding account manager – proactive, professional, and always goes the extra mile to ensure our business needs are met. Communication is always clear, and support is on hand whenever we need it. Thanks to his support, we’ve seen a real boost in our visibility.”
