ROTHERHAM: Stelrad Radiators, a leading UK radiator manufacturer, has announced the appointment of Anna Burns as marketing director.

Ms Burns joined the company late in 2011 after several years in a number of senior marketing roles at Twyford Bathrooms, including time as executive vice president for Twyford's parent company Sanitec in Sweden.

Stelrad managing director Mike Conlon is pleased to have secured Ms Burns' services for his new company: "Anna needs no introduction here - her knowledge and skills are ideally suited to Stelrad's needs and she brings a wealth of experience from her ability to raise brand awareness to driving the new product development aspects of the role. We are looking to grow into new and exciting market sectors and to introduce new brands and product ranges in the months and years ahead and we're looking to Anna to spearhead this activity and ensure Stelrad remains the first choice of merchants, specifiers, heating engineers and installers across the UK."
