Three New Faces In AtMiro P
remium cooker hood specialist Miro have bolstered their ranks with three
new additions to their growing team, just in time for the Lancashire based company’s third birthday! Two new external Area Sales Managers have
recently been appointed, along with a new Sales Office Manager who will be based at Miro’s head office in Burnley. Barbara Milne has been appointed as Area
Sales Manager for the South East, with Henry Thwaites taking up a similar role in the Midlands and West of the UK. Miro Director Liam Lord explains that COVID-
19 delayed his decision to expand but now is the right time to bring in new faces; “With the challenges we have all faced in the last 18 months, now is the right time for us to increase our representation throughout the UK. This is something we’ve had to delay doing for obvious reasons but you could say it’s actually worked in our favour when you consider the quality of the staff we’ve been able to bring in. Barbara is someone I’ve wanted on board for a while and comes not only with a wealth of experience and knowledge, but also with high praise from many retailers. Having known and worked with Henry for over 15 years, I am well aware of what a great asset he can be to our team. We are delighted to welcome both Barbara and Henry to Miro.”

Canadian brassware firm Riobel launches in the UK
After 25 years of success in its domestic market, award- winning Canadian brassware brand Riobel is launching to design professionals and consumers in the UK and selected EMEAA markets. Riobel offers luxury design for modern living, with a product portfolio spanning contemporary kitchen and bathroom taps and a range of matching accessories. Founded in Quebec in
1995 by a plumber, from a family of plumbers, Riobel’s roots are in smart engineering – its patented RioWiseTM valves still lead the industry. Yet today it is best known for its award- winning designs. Quebec’s French influences are part of Riobel’s design DNA, a fascinating symbiosis of North American flair and European panache. Inspired by contemporary architectural forms, Riobel’s products are
characterised by geometric shapes and unique angles. A brilliantly modern aesthetic underpinned by advanced engineering; innovative products designed to be effortless to use.
The addition of Jamie Butterfield as Sales Office
Manager is a position that Lord feels is also imperative with customers needing a high level of support from suppliers they can trust. He explains; “It would be an understatement to say our customers are disappointed with the level of the service they are receiving from some of their suppliers, not least with product delays and lack of communication. At Miro, we pride ourselves on the high level of customer service we provide. Jamie is vastly experienced in customer service and we are delighted to have him on board.”
