Commenting on his appointment, Emmons, said: “It was business as usual for Saniflo last year with the company staying open to provide essential products and services to frontline organisations. In 2021 the company has not only seen a return to pre-epidemic business levels, but an increase in sales possibly due to pent up demand as well as the strength of the construction sector.

“To manage anticipated growth, which has also been stimulated by the launch of new products including grease traps, submersible pumps and commercial lifting stations, my appointment is key and I’m delighted to be a part of the Saniflo team. I look forward to strengthening the distribution network for the domestic range and overseeing growth of commercial pumps and lifting stations and the Kinedo range of showers, trays and baths.”
