Deborah says she was drawn to Reginox because of its strong reputation within the industry: “Having worked in the sector for so long, you quickly learn which brands have the best reputation – whether it’s sinks, taps, flooring or appliances. Reginox is a name you hear consistently in a positive way, which really stood out to me. “My priority is now getting out to introduce myself to both existing and new customers, to build and strengthen relationships. At the same time, I’m reaching out to contacts I’ve worked with previously to explore new business opportunities with them.”
Dave Mayer, Reginox UK Commercial Director, says: “We’re delighted to welcome Deborah to the team. We think she’ll be a real asset, especially with her experience and knowledge of our sectors and her strong relationship and business development skills.”
Away from work, Wakefield-based Deborah is a netball enthusiast and plays for two teams in the Yorkshire league. She also enjoys horse riding and has a long-standing passion for interior design.
“In many ways, my interest in interior design is what led me into this industry in the first place,” she says. “I love helping customers choose the right sinks, taps and finishes for their spaces. Matching colours and advising on projects is something I genuinely enjoy, and I think I’ve developed a good eye for it over the years.”
