Acoustic, fire and thermal insulation product manufacturer AIM has appointed Simon Mayes as Specification Manager.

Mayes has 20 years’ experience in the construction industry, having worked for manufacturers such as British Gypsum, Saint Gobain Isover, Komfort, Cembrit, Siderise and, most recently, Proteus Waterproofing. He has held positions ranging from Business Development Manager to National Sales Director. 

Mayes will work with specifiers and main contractors to help them determine the appropriate products for the design of high-quality buildings, and will be available to give CPD presentations.

“The majority of my experience has been within specification, working with architects and main contractors,” Mayes explained.  “I enjoy the technical side of sales where I can help clients understand and comply with the building regulations.”

The appointment is part of a major investment in sales and marketing at Acoustic Insulation Manufacturing, known as AIM. Already this year, the business has recruited Chris Dale to the role of Business Development Manager – North, and will have news of a Business Development Manager – South in the very near future.

“Given the importance of specification, we are delighted to have recruited such a highly experienced specifier,” added Ian Exall, AIM’s Commercial Director. 

“Simon’s role will be key to the future growth of AIM.  We have spent two years investing heavily in our product range (which is set to continue well into the future). Simon will be helping us bring our new and improved products to the attention of specifiers so that AIM products are a natural choice for the buildings they are designing.”
