William will work with architects, designers and specifiers in the London area supporting them on M40/M20 specification, providing project support and delivering RIBA-accredited CPDs.

He said: “I am delighted to have joined the market-leaders in tiling products in what is period of growth in the industry – especially in the specification sector.

“BAL are acknowledged as an innovative brand, leading the field in quality tiling products and providing a host of support services for designers and architects to assist them throughout their tiling projects, ensuring they last the test of time.

“I look forward to continue working with designers and architects, helping them to utilise the great products, people and technical knowhow available from BAL, including our free PowerSpec specification tool, to create concise, technically accurate and up-to-date specifications for tiling, as well as a team of experts who can provide designs and specifications completely free on their behalf.”

William joins BAL from Porcelanosa where he worked as Commercial Specification Manager for the company’s entire product portfolio, working with architects, designers and contractors on large UK and international-based projects.

Previously he worked as Business Development Manager for Porcelanosa’s Noken brand, raising brand awareness and developing opportunities through regional house-builders, developers, architects, independent retailers, trade and commercial contracts sales.
