Gail Burns has joined Salamander Pumps from outdoor decking supplier and distributor Gripsure where she most recently held the position of merchant account manager .
In her new role, Gail is responsible for developing and implementing plans to generate new business with builders and trade merchants, buying groups and independent contractors across Scotland and Northern Ireland.
She will also be tasked with generating sales opportunities for pipe clip manufacturer Talon; commercial washroom solutions provider Cistermiser; and Keraflo, a leading manufacturer of water management solutions.
