National framework provider Pagabo has has appointed its first regional relationship manager for the north of England.
Karen Carter joins Pagabo with a remit to support the business' growth throughout the north of England, while also implementing key regional objectives to current users of Pagabo's frameworks. Having worked within the construction sector for the last ten years, Karen specialises in the development of industry-leading strategies and collaborative working – both of which are designed to provide tangible benefits to clients, local stakeholders and communities.
She said: "In my last two roles, I became increasingly aware of Pagabo's growing success and when I discovered the team was searching for a new regional relationship manager it caught my attention. After a discussion with Simon Toplass about the role and the company it felt like the right next step for my career and I’m really thrilled to be part of the team.
"Over the last decade I have developed a real love for the construction industry and all it has to offer. Being part of the first collaborative construction frameworks within the North East was a great experience and one which has put me in good stead in my career. I've worked in public sector procurement for more than ten years before dipping into the contractor side of bidding for the past three years."
Chief executive of Hull-based Pagabo, Simon Toplass, said: "When Karen contacted me to discuss the regional relationship manager role, I knew that her expertise in community engagement and helping local projects get off the ground would sit tremendously in line with our emphasis on social value, so think she will be the perfect fit for the role. We are absolutely delighted to welcome her to the team and feel very fortunate that she is joining at such an exciting time for us as a company."
