After 30 years at the top of VitrA Bathrooms UK, Levent Giray has retired and has passed the role of managing director to Steve Breen.
Giray has built the UK team from nothing as he first brought VitrA Bathrooms to the UK in 1992.
Giray said: “I’m very proud of what the company has achieved over the last 30 years and grateful to have led a fantastic team. VitrA continues to hold a strong position in the market with an unparalleled product portfolio. With his breadth of industry experience, I have no doubt that Steve will continue to drive the business forward.”
The new managing director joins VitrA from a role as general manager for Finning UK and Ireland. Breen has experience in the bathroom industry as he was sales director for three years at Ideal Standard. His other experience in the construction includes working for Electrolux, AkzoNobel Coatings and SITECH UK.
Breen said: “The VitrA business is a strong and enviable one – the team have achieved so much during Levent’s tenure. I look forward to working with everyone in this next chapter for VitrA UK.”
