His main responsibilities will be connecting developers, architects, main contractors and pod manufacturers to promote the use of Roca and Laufen products in offsite construction.

Project sales director of Roca Group UK Jon Bond commented: “The pod bathroom sector has grown enormously in the last few years and we’re eager to establish ourselves as first choice for our offsite partners.

“This is why I’m so delighted to welcome Mike on board.

“His extensive experience within bathroom specification gives him essential insight, as well as a valuable overview of the sector as a whole.

“I’m looking forward to working closely with Mike in the coming months.”

Commenting on his new role, Mike Trender said: “Roca and Laufen are some of the world’s most recognisable brands, so I’m really looking forward to working with them within the demanding environment of modern construction.

“What’s more, the focus that Roca Group has on decarbonisation aligns perfectly with the green credentials of architects and developers choosing offsite construction methods.

“This is going to lead to a lot of exciting conversations with existing and potential partners.”

Bathroom giant Roca Group UK & Ireland has also recently welcomed Nicola Smith as business development manager for Ireland.
