The promotion signals Fernco’s strong intention to continue investing in its undisputed reputation as one of the industry’s most trusted and respected supply partners.

Fernco, the leading designer and manufacturer of flexible couplings for the civils and drainage sectors, has announced today that David Millward will take up the role of Sales Director from 1 October. 

Joining the business in 2021, and with a stellar 30-year career in the builders’ merchant sector, Millward has made a significant impact among customers, colleagues and other industry stakeholders.

Millward said: “I’ve been in this industry a long time and it’s afforded me the opportunity of seeing how companies really perform, both during good times and bad. It was joining Fernco post-pandemic that I knew my decision to join this great team was right."

Lee Pashley, Fernco Managing Director, said: “We knew when David joined the business he would make a big impact, not only in terms of his impact on sales performance, but in terms of his ability to nurture both new and existing relationships.

"But importantly, he has enabled us to deliver on the promises we made to the market when we became Fernco – promises around our customer-first commitment, the speed in which we will bring new products to market, and critically, how we will continue to push hard, change and innovation that will bring us all greater success.”
