Joe Underwood is a positive force to be reckoned with. Boasting five successful years at Bluebay under his belt already, Joe has recently been promoted from Regional Sales Manager South East to Branch Manager of the company’s new depot in Thurrock. Here, Joe tells us all about his passion for the business and the difference he and his team are planning to make in the South East from their impressive new hub.
“I love working at Bluebay – I’ve been with the company for just over five years and I’m passionate about our products, our people, and what we can offer the industry. Obviously, I’m delighted with my recent promotion and the move to our new base in Thurrock couldn’t come at a better time. Bluebay has seen quite a few changes this year and all for the better. We have so much to offer the South East area and our new hub will give us the power to really reach our potential and go above and beyond for our customers.
“I’m used to being on the road and have spent much of my time visiting our customers from our Luton depot, but we’ve grown so much over the past few years that we need the additional capacity at Thurrock and it’s a very exciting time for everyone involved.
“I’ve been lucky enough to get our products out there on big projects such as HS2 and I have the skillset to advise engineers on exactly what products we can offer as their best solution. That’s what drives me I guess – finding the answer to our customers requests via our large offering and knowing we’re providing quality products that will deliver time and time again.
“I’m also very excited to be working alongside my new colleagues – there are six of us based out of Thurrock now and we’re all as passionate as each other to get Bluebay out there and support contractors and suppliers across London, Essex, Kent, and the wider South East.
“Hopefully as we grow our name in the South East new customers will appreciate my dedication and speed as much as those I’ve already built a rapport with during my regional sales manager role days. I’m proud to be known as reliable and extremely fast to respond to queries – which in turn means I provide solutions in a super quick turnaround.
“To be honest, the quality of Bluebay’s offerings makes my life so much easier! We manufacture our own waterproofing ranges, we’ve produced specialist grouts for HS2 and we’re super flexible and if we can offer something bespoke, we’ll go above and beyond to deliver. The Bluebay team know we have access to extremely high-quality products that our customers can rely on, and we can’t wait to spread the word further in the South East now we’re at home in Thurrock.”
