SIKA STRENGTHENS ROOFING TEAM WITH TWO NEW ADDITIONS TO SENIOR MANAGEMENT

Mark comments: “It has been almost 27 years to the day since I started here as a research and development chemist, and the opportunity to return to Roofing as the Head of the Business Unit was a very tempting one. We’re very excited to begin – and have already begun – implementing our plans for the business. We are particularly keen to see the continued exploration of big innovation ideas and for Sika to build on that as a technology leader.”

Continuing, he shares his ambitious plans for a more united, integrated future at Sika: “We’re looking at bringing together a much more integrated company. There is a lot of scope for us to really optimise what we’re doing across every channel and to bring those channels together in a more coherent, effective manner.”

Mark goes on to explain the importance of building a strong leadership team as a foundation for the future, with the appointment of Charles Pierce as Head of Sales in Roofing a particularly exciting addition. “It’s great to be welcoming Charles back to Sika: his enthusiasm, ambition and strong desire to be part of our success is clear. Our sales organisation continues to grow in strength and I’m looking forward to seeing where this will take us.”

Charles re-joins Sika with new insight and a balanced perspective on the roofing industry. Bringing a wealth of experience from both his initial 12 years with Sika and the recent challenges undertaken by Charles across the sector, he will oversee the growing sales team with an abundance of fresh ideas and innovations. 

“It feels good to be back,” says Charles. “We’ve got the most exciting time ahead of us, and the spirit of the company is really strong; it’s a great place to work, with great people. I’m proud to be a part of the business moving forward, and value the investment that a company like Sika puts into you as an individual; the time they spend trying to help you develop, to make sure you’re okay - an attitude which really filters down through the business.” 

He details his ambitions to put people at the forefront of Sika’s future, with extensive training provided to ensure that the team can maximise their effectiveness: “With the right knowledge, information and technology on hand you can have an adaptable, constructive approach to projects. High-levels of competency and a thorough understanding of the industry complement other resources to provide informed advice and a better all-round approach.”
