Leading bathroom manufacturer, Hansgrohe, will unveil its new Warwick-based UK headquarters to key stakeholders and customers in April.
The HQ move is part of an overall £5million investment and marks a significant milestone in the company’s strategic growth plans. The new head office now provides 40,000 sq ft of capacity, more than double the size of Hansgrohe’s previous UK HQ footprint in Surrey, providing more opportunities for showroom and merchant retailers to interact face-to-face, supported by a customer services operation and strong stock availability.
Last year, hansgrohe unveiled a brand-new range of products which saw it branch out into ceramics, furniture and mirrors for the first time. The new HQ provides 5,000 sq ft of dedicated showroom space for customers to see and experience the extended range. In addition, working water displays will showcase the company’s leading portfolio of high-quality showers, taps and accessories across the two brands – AXOR and hansgrohe.
Following the official opening at the end of April by Hansgrohe Group CEO, Hans Juergen Kalmbach, and managing director for Hansgrohe UK & Ireland, Jay Phillips, retail customers and installers will be invited to visit the new facility, meet staff, and tour the premises. This includes the state-of-the-art showroom space as well as a new Installer Academy, where specialist hansgrohe training support for trade professionals will be held later in the year.
Jay Phillips, managing director of Hansgrohe UK & Ireland, commented: “This is an incredibly exciting time for everyone at Hansgrohe UK.”
“We have ambitious plans to take the company forward in the coming years through continued product innovation and leading the market. This significant investment in our state-of-the-art new head office is a vital part of driving this commitment.”
“Having everything available under one roof, from a spacious showroom and training to warehousing and distribution, will ensure we are able to best meet the needs of our busy customers and support them with their business. This also reinforces our goal to be the ‘easiest to do business with’ and will further improve our already high levels of stock and service. In addition, our central location just off the M40 means we are more accessible than ever to our retail partners and installers.”
“We have two strong brands, innovative, high-performing products, and an amazing team. This compelling combination is further strengthened by our purpose-built headquarters in Warwick, which we are extremely proud to call our new home for the years ahead.”
