Bathroom brand JTP has announced two key additions to its growing sales team which it says is part of its ongoing commitment to strengthening customer relationships and supporting continued business growth across the UK.
Bobby Pearson joins as south east area sales manager, bringing nearly 20 years of experience in the bathroom industry. Starting his career in a showroom before moving into trade sales, Bobby has previously held roles with Salamander Pumps, Novelini and Aqualisa. In his new role, he will focus on developing relationships with merchants and installers across the region.
Commenting on his appointment, Pearson said: “I’m excited to join JTP, a brand known for its stylish, high-quality bathroom products. My first few weeks have been really positive, taking over from Keith following his retirement after 40 years in the industry. It’s great to see customers enthusiastic about building new relationships with both JTP and myself.”
Also joining the business is David Whiteside, who takes on the role of specification manager for the South, West and South Wales. Whiteside will focus on driving specification opportunities across large-scale residential and commercial projects, working closely with key decision-makers including housebuilders, contractors, architects and design practices. He will also ensure JTP products are specified at the earliest stages of project planning, helping to secure volume opportunities and streamline supply through merchant partners.
Speaking about his new role, Whiteside said: “My focus will be on engaging with those responsible for specifying bathroom products across a wide range of developments, from new-build housing to large residential refurbishments and hotel projects. With over 200,000 new homes built annually across England and Wales, there is a significant opportunity to ensure JTP products are considered and specified from the outset.”
These appointments reflect JTP’s continued investment in its people and infrastructure, ensuring the business is well-positioned to support its customers and partners while capitalising on growth opportunities within the sector.
