Grohe’s UK division taps new general manager
Posted: Wednesday, April 12th, 2023
Düsseldorf-based brassware specialist Grohe has announced the appointment of a new head for its UK business, according to KBB Review. Kristine Skauge is said to have had a “ten-year rise through the ranks” holding several senior posts within Grohe and overseeing the development and implementation of major marketing strategies and initiatives. Most recently she led the brand’s marketing strategy across the Middle East and North Africa region. Skauge succeeds Matt Brown, who was appointed in the role in July 2021 after Simon Andersen moved to a new position at Grohe’s HQ in Germany. Commenting on her appointment, Skauge said: “I look forward to leading the UK business after years of developing the Grohe brand in other markets. “The UK has always stood out to me as a particularly exciting, fast-paced, multi-channel market and I look forward to continuing to build on the good work of my predecessors and the current leadership team.” The plumbing fixtures manufacturer has also introduced Chris Dodds as its new UK commercial leader. Reporting directly to Skuage, he will be responsible for steering strategy across multiple sales channels. Dodds has been in the KBB industry for several years and most recently held the role of managing director at bathroom distributor Davroc.
