QRL strengthens senior management team

Following the recent unveiling of its fresh brand identity, QRL Radiator Group – formerly Quinn Radiators – has strengthened its leadership team with three new senior appointments.

Marking the creation of three brand new positions, the leading manufacturer has welcomed Mark Derbyshire as Commercial Managing Director for its panel radiator ranges (hi-lo, Barlo and Warmastyle); Lee Kenney as Commercial Managing Director for Design by QRL and custom heating and cooling specialist Merriott; and Maura McCabe as General Manager for Ireland.

Derbyshire, previously commercial director at Vaillant, has almost 20 years’ experience in the plumbing and heating industry. In his new role, he will oversee QRL’s panel radiator division – including its market-leading hi-lo, Barlo and Warmastyle ranges.

Kenney joins QRL Radiator Group from IBP Conex, marking the latest step in his 30-year career in the HVAC sector. He will now manage the Design by QRL portfolio, as well as heading up Merriott (part of the QRL group) and its range of custom-made commercial heating and cooling solutions.

Bringing with her 15 years’ commercial and operations experience across industries including heating, plumbing and property, McCabe will now lead QRL Radiator Group’s Irish arm. Based in the company’s Derrilyn offices, she will be responsible for the day-to-day running of all aspects of the panel and design departments in Ireland – from admin and HR to sales and warehousing.
