With business continuing to boom, Natural Paving Products has strengthened its sales team with the appointment of two hard landscaping veterans, bringing its total national sales force to nine. The newcomers are Dean Martin and Tom Newbold.

Tom becomes regional sales manager for north London, Oxford and Reading and Dean is Regional Sales Manager for Wales, Birmingham, the Black Country and Bristol. Both report to Andy Toovey, the Southern Sales Manager at Natural Paving products.

Tom and Dean will offer support to merchants with additional back-selling opportunities and will work to increase membership of Natural Paving Products' Approved Landscaping Professionals scheme.

Tom brings a wealth of experience from his civil and ground works background and particularly from his most recent two-and-a-half year stint selling natural stone for Strata Stones.

Dean has been selling to builders merchants for more than 20 years, with 10 years of specific experience selling landscaping materials and associated products.
