Mr Wightman is expected to add value to Brymec's overall proposition by providing support and technical insight that will help customers make critical decisions on their projects. Additionally, he will be responsible for working closely with Brymec's customers and sales team to bring in and develop new product ranges.

Andy Thomas, sourcing director at Brymec, explained: “Selection and support advice is something we are frequently being asked for, and is becoming more expected by our customers. Paul's appointment now gives us real strength in this area.

“Paul has vast knowledge and expertise in valves, so he will help me with the development of the Brymec range in terms of specifications and technical requirements as well as promoting the valves that we supply to our customers. He will also help me with the sourcing of new valve ranges.”

For the last four years, Mr Wightman worked for a large valve manufacturer as its technical specifications manager, supporting  customers by offering training, technical expertise and advising on best practice for installation.

Mr Wightman's expertise, especially within the HVAC valves and controls sectors, has resulted in specific invitations to participate on steering committees within respected industry bodies like CIBSE and BSRIA.

He said: “I am delighted to be joining Brymec. This is an exciting opportunity in a dynamic, ambitious and fast-growing company which has a deep commitment to ‘re-writing the rule book’.

“In my experience around the market, Brymec consistently receives the highest praise from m&e contractors and suppliers for its service levels, professionalism, overall communication and performance.”

He added: “I very much look forward to being part of Brymec's progressive team, which has shown a dedication  and passion to constantly develop new solutions for their customers.”
