Kudos appoints national sales manager

Cumbrian shower products manufacturer Kudos strengthened its sales team with its appointment of experienced national sales manager, Tony Russ.

Russ joins the business to head up what will be a new team of area sales managers supporting displaying showrooms and contractors. He has extensive experience in the bathroom and kitchen sector having previously worked for many established industry brands, most recently with Electrolux.

Russ said: “I’m delighted to be joining Kudos who are currently enjoying both positive sales growth and support from their new parent company, the Ronal Group. We have lots of new products lined up over the coming months to deliver into the UK market and that will require the support of an extended team in sales. I’m very much looking forward to delivering these new products and growing the new team.”

Nick Graville, sales and marketing director for Kudos explained: “Over the past four years our customers have been supported by our 8 strong Retail Support Managers (RSM’s), all of whom provide technical and installation assistance.

“As we grow there is clearly a need for us to provide more sales support with a team of area sales managers who will work alongside the RSM’s improving the depth of support and communication with our customer base.  We are delighted that Tony Russ has agreed to join us to lead this new team.”
