HiB appoints new Area Sales Manager for Ireland

Leading bathroom product supplier HiB has welcomed Matthew Kinloch to its team, as the company’s new Area Sales Manager in Ireland.

Kinloch, who will be responsible for supporting retailers across Northern Ireland and parts of the Republic of Ireland, has worked with a number of high profile brands during his career, and brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the Irish branch of HiB’s sales team.

In a recent statement, HiB announced that Kinloch will play a vital role in enhancing its customer service and communication with retailers and showrooms across the industry. He is expected to work with both established accounts and new businesses as he builds new relationships for the company.

Commenting on his new role, which began during lockdown, Kinloch says: ‘Starting my new role as Area Sales Manager during lockdown has been unusual, but HiB has been fantastic in helping me establish relationships with existing retailers and showrooms and giving me the tools needed to hit the ground running. It has been very refreshing to learn new product details and discover why HiB has such a good reputation in the bathroom industry.

‘Everyone I have met within the company, whether in person or remotely via video conferencing, has been extremely friendly, accommodating and we are all pulling together in the same direction. It is like one big family.

‘It is a brilliant opportunity to represent the HiB brand, there are so many exciting projects and products in the pipeline that I can’t wait to share with customers. HiB is renowned for its expertise in beautiful bathroom products and following the company’s recent Queen’s Award for Enterprise win and the BKU award for Best Accessory Brand, there is a lot to shout about.’

Sales Director Ash Chilver adds: ‘Welcoming Matthew to the team has been fantastic for HiB and his extensive sales experience has meant that he has been able to hit the ground running with building relationships with our established accounts and communicating with new businesses.

‘Expanding our team in Ireland is part of HiB’s ongoing strategy to enhance customers’ service and communications with retailers and showrooms, offering a service which is second to none. Matthew will be a direct point of contact for customers within his area and will strengthen our reputation as a leading bathroom supplier.’
