Sika has added an experienced flooring expert to its network of Area Technical Managers through the appointment of Martin Oakes.

The 45-year-old brings 15 years of Polyurethane experience from the Sports flooring sector to his new position in the Sika Flooring team.

This role will see him liaise closely with customers across the East to West Midlands, part of North East and North West England and North Wales, helping to address any technical issues they may have.

Speaking about his new position, Martin said: “Part of what appealed to me about joining Sika, recognised as industry leaders, was how the company’s ethos differs from its competitors. I’ve found out very quickly, for example, that we not only supply products and systems but provide solutions.

“Every project is different and has its own particular challenges that require a unique combination of Sika products to overcome. It’s my job to work closely with specifiers and contractors across my area to help them find the right solutions for these challenges.”
