Commenting on his new role, he said: ” I have joined Summerbridge at an exciting time for the business with lots of new enquiries coming in for this UK manufacturer.

“Summerbridge has been producing kitchen and bedroom doors and cabinets for many years and whilst we have continued working throughout the recent pandemic, it’s a perfect time to join with our retail customers and showrooms opening up again.”

Sales director Mark Newton added: “We have a real variety of trade customers to support here at Summerbridge.

“We supply distribution, merchants, developers and the leisure market from our Hull base, so getting an experienced sales operator to cover that breath in the North of England is critical to support our current customers and realise new enquiries.
