Sika’s Refurbishment division has appointed Ben Piercy as their new Area Technical Manager.

Based in Leeds, he will cover the North of England in a role which involves working with engineers and specifiers to propose the best solution for the repair and protection of decaying and damaged concrete by creating specifications that outline the optimum solutions and relevant products.

He joined Sika in April, having spent 10 years in a similar position at Bioclad, specialists in product design for hygiene-critical environments.

Ben, who will join the National team of Sika Refurbishment Technical Managers, said: “I’m excited at the challenge that lies ahead with Sika. I’ve gained plenty of experience in the specification-selling sector, which I hope to put to positive use in my new role. Sika is a global company with a revered reputation to match. I’m looking forward to playing a beneficial part in its future.
