Reginox UK has made two major changes to the composition of its sales team as it looks to accelerate future growth.
Surrey-based Mark Skinner is joining Reginox as its new National Sales Manager, mainly covering London and the south east, but also working closely with Andy Robinson, the firm’s UK Contract Specification Manager, as it looks to build on its success in the sector.
Skinner is stepping into the role vacated by Rebekah Tomkinson, who has been appointed National Key Accounts and Business Development Manager.
Her role is to target major suppliers in the UK kitchen industry, including DIY retailers, multi outlet merchants and kitchen furniture manufacturers, as well as serving as area sales manager for the north.
Based in the Netherlands with a UK headquarters in Cheshire, Reginox is acclaimed for the style and innovation of its wide-ranging array of stainless steel, composite and ceramic sinks, as well as conventional, filtered and boiling water taps.
Dave Mayer, Reginox UK’s Commercial Director, says: “These are exciting new roles in the business as we look to build on the huge strides forward, we’re enjoying in both the housebuilding and KBB sectors.
“Mark has been in the industry for over 10 years. He has previously worked for some of our biggest customers and has a wealth of knowledge about the housebuilding and contracting sector, so he speaks the same language as Andy, which will help them both.
“National Key Accounts Manager is an exciting role for Rebekah too. She will be targeting some of the biggest players in the UK market, where we think we can grow.
“I’m delighted for both of them and the brief to both is to continue to build on the excellent work we’ve done over the past 10 years in particular.”
Skinner includes general and regional manager roles with Wren Kitchens, Currys PLC and Symphony Kitchens among his previous experience.
He has also sold kitchens to tier one contractors, managing the sales process, contract reviews and growing, and developing the customer base for high-rise developments in London and the south.
He says: “Reginox is an incredible brand and although I’ve not come from the sink and tap world, I know of it, and I know the quality of the brand and the product.
“I’m really excited about what we want to achieve in the UK, and what we want to achieve with this team. It’s just right for me and it gives me the chance to maximise my skillset.
“The first priority will be getting to know the business, the people and the customers, especially the T1s, and meeting as many of them as possible across the UK.”
Tomkinson, meanwhile, has worked at Reginox for almost 12 years and was previously UK Sales Manager.
She says: “We’ve never had a national business development manager before, so I’m quite excited and looking forward to growing into the role as well as continuing to cover the north, which is a big area for us.
“Bringing on new big customers is something that I really enjoy and when the opportunity came up, I decided to throw my hat into the ring.”
