A new Specification Sales Manager has been appointed at Welsh Slate.

The natural slate manufacture, which is part of the Breedon Group, has welcomed John Steadman into the role, covering the South Wales and South West region.

Steadman brings with him more than 25 years of natural slate sales experience, having worked in regional and national sales with both UK and European manufacturers, some of which also involved manufactured building products and tiles.

He said: “I have been in natural slate sales for a long time and it’s great to have joined Welsh Slate, which produces the best natural slate in the world.

“I don’t think many people could argue that it’s not top of the range material, so I feel very positive - especially joining the company under the new Breedon Group ownership.”
