Flex-R appoints Gary Bottomley as area sales manager to support flat roofing contractors and merchants in Northern England and Scotland.
Flat roofing supplier Flex-R has expanded its commercial team with the appointment of Gary Bottomley as Area Sales Manager. He will oversee customer support, merchant relationships, and contractor guidance across Northern England and Scotland.
Bottomley joined the business in August, bringing experience from both sides of the supply chain. Having worked in the UK roofing sector since 2012, his background spans material manufacturing suppliers as well as hands-on work with roofing contractors. His main focus is to act as a direct technical and commercial link for regional tradespeople and distributors.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
While this management change will not immediately alter shelf prices or product lines, it directly impacts technical back-up and material sourcing for contractors operating in the North and Scotland. Tradespeople specifying specialized single-ply or EPDM flat roofing membranes can expect improved access to local technical support, system specifications, and site-level advice. When ordering specialized waterproofing systems through trade merchants, installers gain a more accessible point of contact to resolve supply delays or clarify installation guidelines, ensuring projects meet manufacturer warranty requirements.
Having dedicated regional contacts helps bridge the gap between building merchants and installers on site. As flat roofing standards evolve, direct support from experienced supplier representatives allows contractors to navigate material selection and installation compliance more efficiently.
