Frequent visits to construction sites played an important role in my day to day work. This allowed me to strengthen relationships with key project managers and electrical engineers, further allowing me to personally assist them in offering time saving / cost effective solutions, on large scale, commercial projects. In this role I worked with project architects, government bodies and designers well before the construction date.
By building strong relationships with key players at an early stage I build rapport, trust and further strengthen my presence in the market. This then leads to relatively easy negotiations in having our product specked at design stage.  EzyStrut prides itself on in house engineering, quality, the best lead times, and the best value. We offer strut, cable support products in tray, ladder and mesh. Track systems, pipe support clamps and hangers for use with a range of electrical and plumbing installations.
My duties included but weren’t limited to the following-
•	Developing quotes, tenders and proposals for clients.
•	Training personnel and helping team members develop their skills.
•	Developing goals for the development team and business growth and ensuring they are met.
•	Increasing the value of current customers while attracting new ones.
•	Contacting potential clients to establish rapport and arrange meetings.
