ELECTRIC underfloor heating suppliers, Amber Underfloor Heating, has announced Simon Whittaker as its newly appointed national sales manager.

Simon Whittaker began his journey at Amber Underfloor Heating in January 2020 as an account manager, supporting and developing their network of retailers and distributers in the south of the UK.

After four years in the role, Simon has now been promoted to national sales manager and will oversee the complete network of Amber Underfloor Heating retailers and distributers across the nation.

‘I’m thrilled with this opportunity and excited to begin building even stronger relationships with all our clients, especially those I’ve yet to work closely with. I’m looking forward to supporting them however we can, whether it be at a dedicated trade event, product training or simply over a cup of tea!’ says Simon.

Simon’s new role will see him supporting new and existing stockists throughout the UK and overseeing sales of Amber’s underfloor heating products to their customers.

Simon’s promotion is part of a wider plan to grow Amber’s internal and external sales and customer support teams and increase coverage across the Midlands and the north, while continuing to sustain existing relationships in the south.

As national sales manager, Simon will support the sales team at Amber and ensure a dedicated team member is always available whenever a stockist or retailer needs support.

‘We’re delighted to be making even greater use of Simon’s knowledge, experience and great relationship-building skills. It will enable us to enhance our industry-leading customer support even further and ensure our partners have not only the best products, but a wealth of knowledge to support their customers,’ says Steven Rooney, director of Amber Underfloor Heating.

Simon has already begun his new role and is in the process of introducing himself to Amber’s stockists and retailers from Cornwall to Scotland.

As well as his national responsibilities, he’ll continue to personally support new and existing Amber retailers in the south of the UK and Ireland.

Amber Underfloor Heating supplies electric underfloor heating to the retail sector through a network of stockists, including wholesalers, distributers and kitchen, bathroom and tile showrooms.

As well as its range of Amber-branded products, it also describes itself as the UK and Ireland’s biggest supplier of DEVI underfloor heating.
