Josie Crowe returns to BSS as managing director

BSS has announced the appointment of Josie Crowe as its new managing director, re-joining the company where her career in the Travis Perkins Group began over two decades ago.

Part of Travis Perkins plc, BSS is a distributor of pipeline and heating solutions, supplying over 84,000 products through more than 50 branches nationwide.

Crowe brings 21 years of experience across the Travis Perkins Group, including 16 years at BSS, where she progressed to Regional Director. She returns to BSS after acting as managing director for BENCHMARX, the kitchen and joinery arm of the Group.

“BSS has always held a special place in my heart, and I’ve had such a warm welcome from my colleagues,” said Crowe. “My experience means I’ve seen BSS from every angle. There’s a really strong foundation here. We’re number one in our sector, and my ambition is to take the business even further and create more space between us and the competition.

“We’ve done a great job with large national customers. Now I want to strengthen our regional relationships and make BSS the local merchant of choice: one that listens, does the right thing, and has the specialist know-how to meet our customers’ needs.”
