Instantor Strengthens its Team

Following the successful launch into the UK market earlier this year, Instantor, part of the Sanbra Group, has made several strategic movements within its team to reinforce the brand’s commitment to providing exceptional service alongside its high-quality, super reliable products.

Neil Gaffney has been promoted to Managing Director of Instantor. Having served as Sales Director for the past two years, Neil has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and has brought a wealth of industry experience to the team. Neil aims to continue to drive success in his new role and lead Instantor to even greater heights.

Dan Wild, who joined the Instantor team as UK National Sales Manager in June 2024, has been promoted to UK Sales Director. Dan joined the business with over 20 years of expertise gained at a senior level within the plumbing and heating industry. He has been an integral part of the brand’s launch into the UK and strives to increase Instantor’s presence across the country, building on its success as Ireland’s market leader in press solutions.

Having worked with Instantor for 30 years, Martin Wilson has been promoted to Divisional Sourcing and NPD Manager. Martin is a highly reputable member of the team and has been a key player in Instantor’s journey. The Instantor product portfolio has been created with professional tradespeople in mind, providing installer-friendly, super reliable ‘fit and forget’ solutions. Martin will continue to place product performance and reliability at the forefront in his new role to provide installers and merchants with unique and advanced solutions that enable a safer and more efficient working environment.

Furthermore, Instantor has also expanded its team with the appointment of Mark Burgess as an Area Sales Manager. Mark brings over 40 years of experience within the plumbing and merchant sectors and his expertise will be an asset in growing Instantor’s portfolio around the UK.

Mark comments: “I joined Instantor because of the depth of the brand. Instantor has a superb range of products with something that will appeal across the board to every merchant and installer including its renowned Press System. Growing the brand in the UK is paramount and I look forward to not only sharing Instantor’s products but also the excellent support team behind them. The Instantor team’s enthusiasm and genuine passion for its products is core to the brand and I’m looking forward to raising the product awareness and opportunities for the company within the UK.”

Alan Hogan, Divisional Managing Director – Heating & Plumbing Division, Sanbra Group, adds: “At Instantor, we are dedicated to fostering a team that not only embodies our values of quality and service but also drives innovation and growth. These strategic movements strengthen Instantor’s leadership team to reinforce our position as a market leading brand. With Neil’s proven leadership, Dan’s industry expertise, Martin’s long-standing dedication and knowledge of the portfolio and Mark’s extensive experience, we are confident that Instantor will continue to set new standards in service and product excellence. I look forward to seeing each of them make a significant impact in their roles and contribute to Instantor’s ongoing success.”
