17 February 2012

Leading heating and pipeline distributor, BSS Industrial, has promoted Andy Raine to Commercial Director after a senior management restructure by Travis Perkins Group.

Andy, who has worked for BSS for more than 20 years, has dedicated much of his career to the commercial division succeeding in a number of roles including his most recent position as the Category Director of Piping Systems. Andy’s promotion follows the promotion of his predecessor Sue Greatorex, who has taken a new role as Divisional Buying Director for the Travis Perkins Plumbing and Heating Division.

Andy comments: “In my new role as Commercial Director, I will be focusing on defining and agreeing new product and supplier strategies in conjunction with our branches and sales teams. This is a great challenge for me and will put to use the skill set that I have developed in my 21 years with BSS Industrial.

“Whilst concentrating on the introduction of new and innovative products that will benefit our customers, I will also work closely with the wider Travis Perkins Plumbing and Heating Division to implement specific areas of sourcing and brand positioning.” 

Frank Elkins, Managing Director for BSS Industrial comments: “I am delighted to promote Andy to this position; he has demonstrated, over many years, his dedication, motivation and knowledge that will serve him extremely well in this exciting challenge for him.

“We endeavour to provide the very best service and matching the skills of our employees with a role that maximises their potential, is a sure fire way of optimising our company wide experience for the good of our customers.”
