Lead and develop their strategy for National Housebuilders. National role with some time in their Burton office.

At Wilson Brook Consulting, we are delighted to be retained once again by Keylite Roof Windows, part of the wider Keystone Group, to appoint a key leadership role: National Account Director: Housebuilders.

We know Keylite well, having recently supported them in recruiting their Sales Director, James Malkin. This new role builds on that momentum and represents another important step in the growth of an ambitious and innovative business.

About Keylite
Keylite is the fastest-growing roof window brand in the UK and Ireland. Renowned for award-winning innovation, continuous product development, and an unwavering focus on customer service, the business has carved out a strong and distinctive position in a competitive market.

As part of the Keystone Group, Keylite benefits from the scale and resources of a £100m+ turnover group that employs over 1,000 people across the UK, Ireland, and Poland. Keystone’s portfolio includes market-leading brands in structural steel, brick support, and building components, with Keylite central to the group’s future growth.

The Opportunity

The National Account Director Housebuilders will take full ownership of Keylite’s national housebuilder strategy, shaping and delivering growth with these accounts. Reporting to the Sales Director, this is a pivotal appointment.

We are looking for a proven senior leader in national accounts with the major housebuilders. Someone who can combine strategic oversight with the ability to build and sustain senior-level partnerships. Strong commercial acumen, negotiating skills, and the leadership ability to inspire and develop a high-performing team are essential. We don’t need an expert in roof windows! Experience with technical building products is enough!

As a key leader, you will be responsible for leading strategic relationships with top national accounts and regional house builders. You will engage with design, technical, and commercial teams across the industry to promote their new, exciting product range. This role combines high-level commercial negotiation with leadership and cross-functional collaboration, ensuring their brand is the preferred choice in the market. You will also build and lead a team to deliver on their ambitious business goals.

Why Keylite?

• Fastest-growing roof window brand in the UK & Ireland
• Multiple awards for innovation and service
• Part of a £100m+ turnover group with international reach
• A culture that combines entrepreneurial drive with the backing of a market-leading group

At Wilson Brook Consulting, we are proud to work again with such a progressive and ambitious client.
