Commenting on his appointment, Damian Sheridan said: ‘Wren’s entry into the contract market is hugely exciting.

“The sheer scale, reputation and capability of the business is more than impressive, and the sustainable but significant growth that Wren has realised on the retail side demonstrates we have the infrastructure and scope to become a serious contender in the contracts space.

“The quality and affordability of the products, the passion, foresight and capabilities of the Wren people, supported by best-in-class lead times and award winning inhouse delivery processes, means that the Wren offering will be as irresistible to the developer and housebuilder customers as it is to the retail customer.’

Manufacturing and logistics director at Wren Raf Klimek added: “We’re really excited to bring Damian on board. Entering the developer and house builder market is a great opportunity for customers and ourselves.

“Damian brings significant experience and understanding of the industry that will drive our continued success into this sector.

“To ensure we do not fall short of our market leading reputation for service excellence, we are expanding our contract team with industry specialists who bring with them years of wide-ranging sector specific knowledge and experience.

“They will be working closely with and supporting our contract customers throughout the process, whilst upholding the levels of service and efficiency that we have become known for across the kitchen industry.”
