REARO, a Glasgow-based manufacturer of high-pressure laminate wall panels and commercial washrooms, has announced the appointment of James Barrett-Bunnage as its new marketing manager.
James will be tasked with helping to implement a comprehensive marketing strategy designed to expand the firm’s commercial business.
Around 80% of Rearo’s revenue currently stems from retail sales, with the remaining 20% derived from the commercial sector. The company aims to shift this balance, doubling its commercial sales revenues by June next year, while also achieving overall sales growth.
James’ background encompasses innovative marketing, digital marketing, and brand positioning, with a track record of launching new products, expanding market reach, and driving revenue growth. His career includes leadership roles at companies including Schuh, Tradeprint, and Finning. He has overseen projects ranging from national retail rollouts, and e-commerce platform development, to the implementation of marketing technology for major construction projects, including HS2.
“I am delighted to be joining Rearo at this exciting time for the company, whose ambitions align perfectly with my passion for innovative solutions and my desire to see impactful results from marketing campaigns,” James said. “Visually appealing materials are crucial for conveying brand identity and making a strong impression. I am confident that my creative background can help to elevate Rearo’s visual communications, ensuring that all marketing materials reflect the high-quality and premium nature of the company’s products.”
Graham Mercer, MD of Rearo, added, “We are thrilled to welcome James to the Rearo team. He brings a wealth of experience from working in both commercial and retail sectors, and his energy and vision will be invaluable as we work to meet our ambitious goals.
“James’s innovative thinking and proven ability to deliver results will be crucial as we strive to expand our commercial business and solidify our position as a leading provider of high-pressure laminate wall panels and washroom solutions.”
