New managing director at Salamander Pumps

Sunderland-based Salamander Pumps has welcomed Dale Robertson as its new managing director.

After starting his career as a product design engineer, he has led teams in a number of engineering, management and marketing director roles including Gripple and Jeld-Wen.

Dale said: “I am delighted to be taking on the role of managing director at Salamander – especially at such an exciting time for the company. I started out as an engineer and have always had a passion for uncovering customer or product issues, and then finding ways to solve them.

“The MD role at Salamander really appealed to me – I’ve worked at huge global companies and small intimate startups – but Salamander is a real sweet spot – it’s nimble and agile, innovative and full of potential for significant growth. We’ve already put lots of plans into action, including exciting product development, an overhaul of our customer service journey and even plans for a new HQ in Sunderland to support growth plans over the next three years.

“However, my main focus will be ensuring that that the customer is at the forefront of everything we do at Salamander Pumps – from the products we develop right through to the customer service journey and aftercare that we offer.”

Salamander added sales of its best-selling CT Xtra shower pump range have increased by more than 30% over the last 12 months.
