Dan Tedds has joined Falmec UK as regional sales manager for the North of England to develop the company’s specialist extraction and induction appliance business with new and existing customers in the area.
Dan started his career in appliances as a graduate trainee with Stoves in 1993, moving up the ladder to senior product manager by the time he left five years later. His next role in the industry was with Smeg as regional sales manager for the NW of England, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Subsequently, Dan spent 18 years with BSH, initially as area sales manager for Bosch built-in, kitchen channel and then as national account manager for the Bosch, Neff & Siemens brands looking after key accounts including AO, Very & Argos. His most recent role has been with the Arlington Group where he has been involved with German and Italian kitchen furniture, in addition to appliances. As a result, Dan is already familiar with the Falmec brand of extraction & induction appliances, which is an integral part of the extensive Arlington portfolio.
Dan said: “I am extremely enthusiastic about joining the Falmec UK team. As a brand, Falmec has made significant inroads into the UK appliance market and I am looking forward to bringing my experience to premium kitchen retailers in the North.”
Falmec UK MD, Sean Drumm added: “Dan’s track record in the UK kitchen appliance industry speaks for itself, so we are delighted that he has agreed to come on board. I am confident that he will further strengthen our presence in the North of England.”
