West Midlands-based Will brings more than 20 years’ experience in the construction sector, including senior roles in commercial strategy, product management, and business development.

He joins from the A. Proctor Group, where he was Head of Business Development, having previously spent 13 years with Kingspan, progressing from technical roles into senior management positions, including National Product Manager, UK Facades Manager, and Head of Product Management for Continental Europe.

TaperedPlus has its technical design studio in Wolverhampton, together with offices on Teesside.

Originally from Herefordshire, he will head up the company’s new regional sales framework, which assigns each Business Development Manager to a specific UK territory, an approach designed to build closer partnerships with contractors, architects, distributors and system manufacturers, while identifying opportunities for growth.

One task is to accelerate the company’s growing presence in the retrofit and refurbishment sector, a rapidly growing market driven by energy efficiency targets, carbon reduction commitments, improved building safety and evolving regulatory requirements.

“With the retrofit market creating significant opportunities, his insight and experience will be instrumental in helping TaperedPlus become a significant player in this area, while continuing to strengthen our national presence.”

Will Jones added: “I’m delighted to join TaperedPlus at such an exciting stage in its growth journey, and I look forward to helping drive growth, digital transformation and long-term value for our customers.”

Founded in 2014 by Aman Chahal and Rob Vass, the company secured £5.5 million investment from BGF in 2023 to support digital transformation, recruitment and expansion of its nationwide technical sales team.
