New Contract Channel Manager at Whirlpool UK

Whirlpool UK Appliances Limited, the home of Hotpoint, Indesit, Whirlpool and KitchenAid brands, has appointed Paul Davis as Contract Channel Manager.

Paul brings 35 years of experience in the appliance industry to his new role, having started out as a sales representative for a distributor, before joining Merloni (the previous owner of the Indesit brand) and progressing through the ranks to National Sales Manager. Following this, Paul became Managing Director of Contract Appliances Limited, working closely with housebuilders as a distributor of appliances. Paul joined Whirlpool UK nine years ago and his previous role within the business was working with independent retailers.

Now, as manager of the contract channel, Paul is able to leverage his past experience to lead the team with great knowledge and understanding. Not only does Paul have in-depth familiarity of the Hotpoint, Indesit, Whirlpool and KitchenAid brands, having worked at the company for nine years, he can also appreciate what housebuilders need having worked closely with them in the past.

Paul Davis, Contract Channel Manager, Whirlpool UK Appliances Limited, says: “The contract channel is such an important area of an appliance manufacturer’s business and I am pleased to be working closely with housebuilders once again. My previous experience means I have worked on both sides of the fence, so to speak, which means I understand housebuilder’s needs and requirements. Having worked in the appliance industry for 35 years, I hope to ensure Whirlpool UK’s brands are specified in a growing number of new build homes and I look forward to making the most of my new role.”

Russell Owens, Channel Director, Whirlpool UK Appliances Limited, says: “We are delighted that Paul has joined the contract side of the business. The brands in our portfolio are very strong and ensure housebuilders can offer the most befitting appliances to the wide range of property specifications on offer. The appointment of Paul with his vast experience and understanding of the industry and the business will ensure our business will continue to develop and flourish.”
