Howarth Timber and Building Supplies has welcomed Jack Lomas to its Rochdale-based GreenHouse as it continues to expand its centre for sustainability.

Mr Lomas will help to grow the centre by working in internal sustainability sales, advising customers, organising training courses and dealing with sales activity.

He joins Howarth with a strong background in sustainability and the environment and will use this knowledge to support the GreenHouse management team.

He said: "I look forward to boosting the GreenHouse's presence, helping the centre to grow, and to providing clients and customers with advice and information so they can make the most sustainable choices.

"With my strong sustainability background, I aim to make Howarth the go-to merchant for all things sustainable and help the centre - and the company - to expand."

Howarth Timber is an independently-owned timer merchant with 27 timber and builders' merchant branches across the UK.
