Tobermore restructures and creates new jobs for 2026

Tobermore, one of the UK and Ireland’s leading construction manufacturers, has restructured its senior leadership team and will be recruiting 10 new members of staff to support its next phase of growth.

Glenn Robinson, formerly Tobermore’s General Manager, has taken the role of Chief Executive Officer and will continue to work alongside owner, David Henderson. David remains Executive Chairman of the board of directors that also includes Daniel Anderson, who serves as a non-executive director of the business. Anna McAleer and Lee Blackburn, formerly Joint Heads of Strategic Growth in the UK and Ireland, have both been promoted to Tobermore’s first Sales Director roles. The company has made eight further internal promotions into leadership positions.

This latest announcement follows the creation of Tobermore’s first board of directors in July 24. It also builds on the company’s £12m investment plans, which saw the creation of 35 new jobs in 2025 and the creation of a new state-of-the-art production facility.

“I’m delighted to be taking on the role of CEO of Tobermore, a company that has enjoyed phenomenal growth in recent years,” said Glenn. “This restructure puts the company in an excellent position; it enables me to retain a great mentor in David who is still very much involved in the wider business. It also allows me to empower Anna and Lee and the rest of our senior leadership team, so they are positioned to drive Tobermore’s continued growth.

“Tobermore’s strength has been to listen to our customers across the supply chain, anticipate market changes and adapt quickly to meet these needs,” said Glenn. “We know that demand for hard landscaping will continue to be driven by private housebuilding and public sector projects. This restructure, together with the creation of the board last year, shows Tobermore has the right people, teams and governance in place to support our customers as they design, build, and supply the materials for their projects."

As sales directors, Anna and Lee will be responsible for aligning Tobermore’s strategies across both the commercial and consumer sales functions. Both have a proven track record of delivering strong and consistent sales growth, and their wealth of industry expertise will be instrumental in helping Tobermore to continue to develop and expand its market share.

“Our customers are under tremendous pressure to build projects to a high standard, as quickly as possible,” explained Anna. “The restructure has allowed us to align all our sales functions, so that we can provide them with a seamless experience from concept to completion, while also being able to meet anticipated demand so they can keep building.”

Over the next few months, the company will recruit 10 people to increase sales and specification support for customers. This includes Commercial Account Managers in the South East and Midlands, and Commercial Account Executives in London, Cardiff, Bristol, Kent and Essex. It is also adding four new roles to its retaining wall team to keep pace with demand for specification and design support.

“Tobermore has a strong culture, and we retain that by promoting from within wherever possible, as demonstrated by our restructure,” added Lee. “Glenn worked his way up from Business Improvement Manager to CEO, Anna joined as a graduate in the specification team 11 years ago, and I started as Commercial Sales Manager eight years ago. So, I would say to anyone considering a role with Tobermore, it’s more than just a job; it’s a fantastic and exciting career opportunity.”

As well as the immediate recruitment plans, Anna and Lee will be holding Tobermore’s second Step into Sales event in March to give ambitious people in London the opportunity to find out about careers in sales.

A further recruitment drive will take place later this year to find production staff across all levels for its new 3,000m2 factory, which is scheduled to open in autumn 2026.
