Girbau UK, the UK division of the global Girbau Group, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of commercial and industrial laundry equipment, has further expanded its commercial sales team. Richard Catling joins as Area Sales Manager for the South East of England, serving an area stretching from Southampton and Portsmouth across to Kent.

With over 5 years experience in laundry equipment sales with PHS LaundryServ, Richard Catling will now be helping care homes, hotels, leisure enterprises and launderettes in the South East to choose high productivity, energy efficient washers, dryers and ironers, while also advising on laundry design and running costs. He joins Girbau UK after the company’s successful launch of its Complete Laundry Care package, which offers laundry equipment rental with all service and maintenance included in a simple and affordable single monthly payment.

“I am delighted to welcome Richard to Girbau UK,” says Peter Marsh, managing director. “Our existing team has already increased sales substantially this year and Richard’s contribution will help us further increase market share and achieve annual sales in excess of £10 million.”
