• Winning and developing partnerships with the leading bathroom pod, volumetric and modular manufacturers, making our client their first choice
• Becoming the main point of contact for pod manufacturing partners, understanding their production schedules, processes and product needs
• Influencing main contractors, developers and contract merchants so products are specified into pods at the earliest stage of each project

• Reporting to senior leadership on performance, pipeline and market opportunities

• Freedom to shape the function, influence product development and create bespoke solutions for pod manufacturers
• A premium sanitaryware and brassware range that pod manufacturers and contractors already know and trust
