Salamander Pumps has appointed a new group business development manager for Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Gail Burns has joined from outdoor decking supplier and distributor Gripsure, where she most recently held the position of merchant account manager.
In her new role, Salamander Pumps said Gail is responsible for developing and implementing plans to generate new business with builders and trade merchants, buying groups and independent contractors across Scotland and Northern Ireland.
She will also be tasked with generating sales opportunities for Talon, Cistermiser and Keraflo.
Gail said: “Salamander Pumps has developed a fantastic reputation within the marketplace for providing customers with high-quality service, advice and products to tackle water flow and pressure challenges.
“There is a significant opportunity to grow our presence within Scotland and Northern Ireland to promote and enable smarter performance.
“It is my responsibility to drive forward our ambition and enable Salamander Pumps to become a well-established name with merchants, contractors and installers for water boosting products in these markets.”
Salamander Pumps stated that it has widened its product offer over the last three years to provide its customers with new innovations and to achieve its expansion targets.
This includes the launch of its water boosting products TapBoost and TankBoost. In addition, the company has introduced AquaScan, a portable, handheld device to simultaneously measure water flow, pressure, temperature and water hardness via total dissolved solids (TDS).
Bryan Liddle, Salamander Pumps sales director, added: “Gail is a highly capable operator who will further strengthen the experience and expertise of our business development team within the markets we serve.
“As a company we are committed to expanding our presence across both Scotland and Northern Ireland to support our growth strategy. Gail’s appointment is a key part of us achieving this goal.
“I welcome Gail to Salamander Pumps and look forward to working closely with her to further develop our business in these markets through delivering industry-leading products and customer service.”
