High-pressure laminate manufacturer and distributor, Wilsonart UK has appointed a new northern account manager to the kitchen side of its business as it looks to strengthen it customer network.
Gemma Evans brings six years of kitchen experience to the role, joining Wilsonart from quartz supplier CRL Stone, where she worked most recently as its north-west sales merchandiser.
Evans will be responsible for promoting and creating a presence for the Bushboard brand among retailers while also offering product training for new colour offerings and up-and-coming laminate styles.
‘My time in the industry has given me a strong familiarity with the wants and needs of the kitchen sector’s client base and how to angle our product offering appropriately. I look forward to being able to leverage our current global presence to show just how important cost-effective alternatives like laminate can be, especially in the current climate. Moving from working with quartz to working in laminate has been a bit of a challenge but I’ve been thoroughly welcomed into the team and I’m confident my experience in the kitchen industry will allow me to expand not only Wilsonart’s network but our sales opportunities too,’ she says.
‘We are pleased to welcome Gemma to our UK team. Her appointment really allows us to solidify relationships with new and existing customers across the region. Gemma’s knowledge of the kitchen trade and understanding of current market needs will be a real asset to the business as we push to see a growth in sales,’ says Tim Emery, Wilsonart UK regional sales director.
