Investing in People : A message from our Sales Director

As Sales Director of EPE the UK’s number one distributor of branded SDA and Cookware I am pleased to announce as part of our investment in our future growth plans we have now recruited four new Regional Sales Managers taking the team to eight covering all of the UK, Ireland and the Channel Isles.

We have further invested in our internal sales team which now has a team of five that will enhance all points of contact with our customers.

We have committed to additional investment in automation to provide industry leading operational systems that will enhance our service to the customer and provide capacity for future growth.

We are committed to our colleague retention and engagement journey with all of the EPE team. This is part of our core strategy of being a ‘’great place to work’’ this will bring both internal and customer benefits.

Through this investment we will be able to provide sector leading customer service levels that will firmly maintain our position as the

UK’s first and only choice in branded SDA

“Keval Shah, Head of Marketing at Beko plc UK & Ireland said; “AquaTech is the biggest launch of the year for Beko, and this is evident in the strategic marketing plan we’ve developed. We’re aiming to reach as many households as possible during peak season for laundry sales, through as many touch points as possible.”

Check out the full article in IER below.

We hope to continue to work closely with our brand partners as they continue to make innovative strides within the industry.

Take a look at the newly launched TV campaign from Karcher

Our strategic brand partners, Kärcher have launched their latest TV campaign in bid to create ultimate brand awareness, showcasing the Karcher Window Vac.

The campaign’s focus is to show the benefits of the Karcher Window Vac’s practical functions and and how it can remove condensation effortlessly as the winter months come in.

With over 90% market share and over 3 million sold in the UK, it’s fair to say Karcher are dominating the market!
