Salamander Pumps has appointed a new technical training manager to support in educating and developing merchants.
Richard Bambridge brings more than 38 years’ experience within plumbing and heating roles to his new position, and previously ran his own heating and plumbing business for 20 years. For last 13 years, he has also held lecturing positions at colleges, where he taught and trained students and apprentices looking to become plumbers or heating engineers.
In his new role, Richard is tasked with delivering training sessions to help develop, educate and inform merchants on best practices when using Salamander Pumps’ solutions. He is also raising awareness and understanding of the company’s range of water boosting products to ensure the correct solution is specified for a certain job.
Commenting on his new role, Richard said: “Salamander Pumps has built a strong reputation in the marketplace for delivering high-quality products and expert advice to address water flow and pressure issues. I look forward to delivering practical, high-impact training for merchants to help improve product understanding, raise installation standards and enable the right solution to be found first time.”
The Sunderland-headquartered business has widened its product offer over the last five years to provide its customers with new innovations and to achieve its expansion targets. This includes launching mains water boosting products TapBoost and TankBoost. In addition, the company has introduced AquaScan, said to be the UK’s first portable, handheld digital water multimeter, designed to simultaneously measure water flow, pressure, temperature and water hardness via total dissolved solids (TDS).
Marketing Director Claire Thompson said: “As a company, we are committed to educating and developing our merchant community when it comes to the challenges faced around water pressure and flow.
“Richard’s appointment is evidence of this commitment in action. He brings with him not only a wealth of technical knowledge, but also hands-on practical experience which prove hugely valuable to installers.”
Claire added: “I welcome Richard to Salamander Pumps and look forward to working closely with him in further raising awareness of our water boosting solutions, increasing confidence in choosing and installing the right product for the job.”
