Construction Materials Team

I have been working with AF and our Members for much of my career, initially through an approved supplier before joining the General Supplies team within AF. Over the last four years I have moved on to become Head of Livestock Inputs & General, one of the most diverse areas within AF and one that crosses over with many other departments.  This position is key in that it gives me a unique insight into how the needs of our Members and the departments they use are intertwined, with many natural cross overs that, once identified, can add value for Members and maximise returns from every interaction.

I started out as a Saturday boy at Jewson when I was still at school. I held various positions for my 20+ years at Jewson, before leaving to join the then Anglia Farmers as a buyer working with Nigel Brighton on the ‘miscellaneous’ desk. Since then building materials procurement at AF has gone from strength to strength and I’m very happy to assist Members with whatever they are building in their business and share my expertise.

I bring experience from over 15 years in the building and construction and was the main contact for AF at Jewsons before starting at AF. Over my career, I‘ve dealt with a vast range of products for many projects, both large and small, and built up a wide range of knowledge on ‘all things building’.

With AF for over 9 years now, previously I worked for each of the big 3 national builders’ merchants. So I’ve accumulated over 25 years’ experience in the industry. I’ve managed teams of varying sizes and I’m confident this AF General Inputs team has the right skillset to give excellent service.
