Methven has appointed Chris Lane as Social Housing Manager covering the London area.

Bringing more than 35 years of industry experience, Lane will support Methven’s customers and social housing projects in the capital, offering insight and product advice relating to water-efficiency measures and performance.

Lane’s career in the industry began working on trade counters at builders' merchants, before moving into a variety of roles across showroom, contract and sales positions, ultimately specialising in social housing.

Lane said: “I’m delighted to have joined the team at Methven – we have a fantastic opportunity to make a real positive impact for our customers and reduce water usage without any compromise on performance.

“Working across the London area also means there is great scope for us to reach more people as water usage becomes an increasingly hot topic. We have the products, knowledge and market history to lead these conversations and provide the most efficient solutions possible.”
