IPG appoints managing director

The IPG has appointed Dean Jepson as its new managing director.

Bringing nearly 40 years of experience across the plumbing, heating and smart controls sectors, Jepson will work closely with independent plumbing merchants, bathroom and kitchen showrooms and supplier partners to ensure the buying group continues to provide the commercial support, buying power and opportunities members need to thrive in an increasingly competitive market.

Jepson commented: “The opportunity to join The IPG was one I simply couldn’t ignore. Independents are the backbone of our industry, and I believe The IPG is uniquely positioned to help them compete, grow and thrive.”

“My vision is to ensure every member gains a genuine competitive advantage through their membership. That means delivering value well beyond purchasing, strengthening supplier relationships and providing the commercial support that enables members to build stronger, more profitable businesses.”
