Showering brand Merlyn has appointed Rhys Higgins as regional sales manager for Yorkshire and the East Midlands. Reporting directly into the Northern sales director, Rhys will be responsible for customer support and business development across the region. He will work directly with retail, merchant, and specification customers to provide essential product training, market insights and showroom displays, with a specific focus on the popular Arysto Collection of luxuriously crafted shower enclosures. The appointment takes the total sales force to 18.
David Brunt, Northern sales director for Merlyn, commented: “Rhys brings with him a wealth of industry experience from brands including City Plumbing Supplies and BWT, making him a valuable addition for our team and our customers. The Northern bathroom market continues to grow with consumers seeking out high-quality products that are well crafted and built to last. With the addition of Rhys, we now have an even stronger team to match our market leading stock availability, ensuring the UK bathroom market has access to best in class showering solutions.”
Rhys joins at an important time as he and the rest of the UK sales team will embark on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge in September in aid of Merlyn’s charity partner, the Pink Ribbon Foundation. The aim is to complete the gruelling 24-mile challenge in under 12 hours, with all donations raised going directly to the grant making trust that funds projects and provides impartial financial support to breast cancer charities.
