Carysil has announced a strategic expansion of its UK sales and support team in response to Waterline going into administration.

Carysil was the sole manufacturer for Waterline's entire "essentials" sinks and taps range, as well as its solid surface brands, including Minerva, Metis, Mariz, Maia and the new innovative Metrowall.

The new appointments are expected to allow Carysil to support Waterline clients who need to be guided to distribution partners of their sinks, taps and surfaces portfolio. Dom Aloia has been appointed National Accounts Field Support Manager, while Stephen Littlejohn and Daniel Rudge become Field Sales Representatives.

Marcus Smyth, CEO at Carysil, explained: "The closure of Waterline is a significant shock and we have great sympathy for their team.

"As the manufacturing partner behind these key lines, our message to the market is simple: the products you trust are not gone. We are fully committed to supporting every customer and ensuring a seamless transition. Your supply is secure."
