J&E Hall restructures sales team

Paul McDermott (above) takes over from Tony Twine as senior manager – commercial products

UK: Changes to the regional sales structure at J&E Hall’s commercial refrigeration business sees senior manager Tony Twine ceding his UK-wide responsibilities to national sales manager Paul McDermott.

The restructure also coincides with the retirement of the company’s northern sales manager Paul O’Brien.

Tony Twine, who has been with the company for 18 years, will now focus on driving sales activity and market development in Ireland. Twine, whose career includes 11 years as general manager at Dunham Bush UK and six years as product manager with Eaton Williams, will use his experience to support distribution partner FSW Ireland in expanding the company’s presence in the region.

Paul McDermott, who joined J&E Hall in 2003 as regional sales manager, played a pivotal role in launching the company’s commercial refrigeration product range into the UK market and was instrumental in expanding its national distributor network. 

The retirement of northern sales manager Paul O’Brien, who joined the company in 2013, brings the appointment of Carl Burton as account manager for the north. He is joined in the team by Kyle Bray, who is the new account manager for the south.

Burton and Bray both join J&E Hall from regional sales manager roles at LFB Group (formerly Lennox).
