Premium cooker hood specialist Miro has bolstered its ranks with a trio of appointments, just in time for the Lancashire-based company’s third birthday.

The company has appointed two external area sales managers, as well as a sales office manager who will be based at Miro’s head office in Burnley.

Barbara Milne has been appointed as area sales manager for the South East, with Henry Thwaites taking up a similar role in the Midlands and West of the UK.

Director of Miro Liam Lord explained COVID-19 delayed his decision to expand but said now is the right time to bring in new faces: “With the challenges we have all faced in the last 18 months, now is the right time for us to increase our representation throughout the UK.

“This is something we’ve had to delay doing for obvious reasons, but you could say it’s actually worked in our favour when you consider the quality of the staff, we’ve been able to bring in.

“Barbara is someone I’ve wanted on board for a while and comes not only with a wealth of experience and knowledge, but also with high praise from many retailers.

“Having known and worked with Henry for over 15 years, I am well aware of what a great asset he can be to our team.  We are delighted to welcome both Barbara and Henry to Miro.”

The addition of Jamie Butterfield as sales office manager is a position Lord feels is also imperative for customers needing a high level of support.

He explained: “It would be an understatement to say our customers are disappointed with the level of the service they are receiving from some of their suppliers, not least with product delays and lack of communication.

“At Miro, we pride ourselves on the high level of customer service we provide. Jamie is vastly experienced in customer service, and we are delighted to have him on board.”
