Cover band singer takes on new Classical Midlands role

Sept. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Andrew Dawson, lead singer of cover band the Meerkats, has become the new front man in the Midlands for Classical Flagstones, the upmarket internal floor and wall tile company owned by Marshalls PLC. Andrew has been appointed as Area Sales Manager and will look after a region stretching from mid Wales to East Anglia and from Worcestershire through Birmingham and Leicester.

Andrew, a former semi professional footballer for Leek Town FC, has over fifteen years experience in the tile sector. He joined a tile company straight from school where he initially specialised in merchandising, an area in which he believes Classical Flagstones is particularly strong, and then also in sales.

Andrew is relishing his new role working for a brand that he says carries real kudos both within the industry and also with consumers. Andrew comments: “I am delighted to join the successful team at Classical Flagstones. I’ve always viewed them as head and shoulders above the competition in terms of quality and I am looking forward to playing a role in the continuing growth of the company.”

Earlier this year the company announced a restructuring of their business to take full advantage of increasing levels of demand for their internal stone flooring and wall tile ranges. This has involved extending their distribution network to more retailers across the UK.

Managing Director Julian Palmer said: “We are delighted to welcome Andrew on board at this particularly exciting time for the company. He will play a key role in expanding our retail network and encouraging the trade to take a look at our fantastic products.”
