With immediate effect, Noel Riley has joined the Hansgrohe UK head office team as marketing manager.

Leading the team of four marketeers, Mr Riley will put his extensive experience to good use in order to devise, plan and deliver marketing strategies to help further the Hansgrohe UK business.

With an impressive and varied career history, he brings fresh perspectives to the team from directorial and consultant positions in the consumer durables, consumer electronics and home improvement sectors, combined with an in-depth knowledge of the bathroom industry from senior management and director roles at Spring Ram (1991 to 1998) and later Jacuzzi (2003 to 2006).

“While many companies talk about innovation, Hansgrohe truly believes in, invests in and delivers innovation – a key factor that attracted me to the brand,” said Mr Riley. “We need to better understand our customers and develop tools and communication strategies to meet their differing needs at all stages of the project from inception to installation.”

Martin Mongan, Hansgrohe UK managing director, added: “Noel and I achieved a lot together during our time at Jacuzzi. He is an inspiring people manager and I believe his approach – which is about communication, personal development and getting everyone working as a team – will achieve great results here at Hansgrohe.”
