Franke has appointed Keelea Badham to the newly created role of business development manager for kitchen specialists. With 17 years of experience in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom industry, Keelea brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the role.
Having previously worked as a designer, showroom manager, and in various regional sales manager roles, Keelea has been an integral part of Franke for over six years. During this time, she has proven herself as a capable leader, having already held senior management and business development roles within the company.
Keelea's new national role will see her work closely with Franke's distribution partners across the UK to develop the business with a focus on new opportunities and new products. Specifically, she will be focusing on Franke’s appliances, cooker hoods, and multi-functional taps categories, and a key aim will be to increase Franke's relationships with appliance retailers.
Jo Sargent, sales & marketing director at Franke, said: “With her extensive knowledge of the industry and our customer base, Keelea is ideally placed to drive forward the new categories within our portfolio and to continue to cement Franke's position as a provider of complete kitchen solutions and a leading name in the KBB industry.”
