Wolseley Group has announced a refreshed UK operating structure designed to better meet the needs of its customers across its core markets.
The updated structure introduces four customer-focused divisions, Local, Contract, Infrastructure and Specialist Businesses, strengthening Wolseley’s ability to support customers ranging from sole traders to national contractors and major utilities.
Patrick Berard, CEO of Wolseley Group, said: “Our customers’ needs are evolving rapidly. Local tradespeople, project-led contractors and major utilities all require different levels of expertise, availability and service. This new structure ensures we can meet those needs with greater clarity, speed and consistency.”
To support the new operating model, Wolseley has strengthened its UK leadership team through a combination of internal promotions and new external appointments. Glen Scorah becomes UK sales and operations director for contract and large accounts, Mike Russell will take responsibility for business operations and Simon Dennis will lead the infrastructure division. In addition, Dean Weston will move from Wolseley-owned CP Hart to take up the position of UK sales and operations director for the local division and Gavin Vose joins as chief purchasing and supply chain officer.
