Salamander Pumps appoints new manager

Sunderland-based Salamander Pumps has appointed Gail Burns as group business development manager for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Gail joins from Gripsure, where she was merchant account manager. 

In her new role, she will drive new business with builders, trade merchants, buying groups and independent contractors. 

She will also support sales growth for Talon, Cistermiser and Keraflo.

Gail said: “Salamander Pumps has developed a fantastic reputation within the marketplace for providing customers with high-quality service, advice and products to tackle water flow and pressure challenges. 

“There is a significant opportunity to grow our presence within Scotland and Northern Ireland to promote and enable smarter performance. 

“It is my responsibility to drive forward our ambition and enable Salamander Pumps to become a well-established name with merchants, contractors and installers for water boosting products in these markets.”

Salamander Pumps has expanded its product range in recent years, launching TapBoost and TankBoost, as well as AquaScan, the UK’s first handheld device for measuring water flow, pressure, temperature, and hardness.

Bryan Liddle, Salamander Pumps sales director, added: “Gail is a highly capable operator who will further strengthen the experience and expertise of our business development team within the markets we serve.

“As a company we are committed to expanding our presence across both Scotland and Northern Ireland to support our growth strategy. 

“Gail’s appointment is a key part of us achieving this goal.

“I welcome Gail to Salamander Pumps and look forward to working closely with her to further develop our business in these markets through delivering industry-leading products and customer service.”
