HiB Announces Key Promotions in National Sales Team

September 5, 2024

HiB is pleased to announce the promotion of two key team members, marking an exciting new chapter in its national sales strategy.

Steve Wortley has been promoted to the position of National Sales Manager. Having dedicated over 14 years to HiB, Steve previously served as the Regional Sales Manager for the North. In his new role, Steve will take on the responsibility of managing the Area Sales Managers and leading the Installations and Sales Administration teams.

Commenting on his promotion, Steve said: “I have been a part of the company for over 14 years, and it is truly rewarding to now represent HiB as National Sales Manager. This is an exciting time to be part of HiB, especially with the launch of the new sanitaryware earlier this year and more product releases planned for the autumn launch. I am looking forward to seeing what this new role brings and helping the company achieve even greater success in the future.”

With the company’s presence expanding across the UK due to a growing customer base, HiB has also created a new role to support their key retail partners. Richard Chmiel has been promoted to the newly created role of National Key Account Manager. Richard, who has been with HiB since April 2017, was the Regional Sales Manager for the South before his new appointment. In his new position, Richard will focus entirely on managing HiB’s National Accounts and Buying Groups, ensuring that key retail business partners continue to receive the highest level of service and support.

Richard discusses his new role, stating: “I am grateful for this opportunity to continue developing our key retail business partners as part of my new role at HiB. The company’s commitment to design, innovation, and customer service is exceptional and with some exciting new developments in the pipeline, I am excited to start working with my new account base.”

These promotions are testament to HiB’s culture in developing talent and enhancing its leadership team. As the company continues to grow and innovate within the bathroom industry, HiB have made these two key appointments to help drive their future growth plans and are confident that both Steve and Richard will contribute significantly to the company’s ongoing success.
