New commercial director to drive growth at Harrison Spinks

Harrison Spinks, one of the UK's most established and innovative bed makers, has bolstered its senior team by appointing a new commercial director who will play a crucial role in delivering the company’s ambitious growth plans.

Ruairi Giles has taken on the position after spending more than eight years working at Harrison Spinks in a variety of roles. This experience has provided Ruairi with a wealth of knowledge in sales, commercial awareness and customer relations within the bed industry.

As part of his new role, Ruairi will utilise his extensive knowledge of the business to assist the sales, operations and manufacturing departments in continuing to drive the company forward.

Joining the company in 2008 as a graduate assistant, Ruairi has worked in various roles across the business including working alongside the sales team to launch and service some of Harrison Spinks’ biggest accounts. During his career at the bed maker, he has managed relationships with more than 100 Harrison Spinks stockists, as well as providing training and launching new products in-store.

Ruairi says: “Having worked at Harrison Spinks for more than eight years, I’ve been given the opportunity to work across a number of departments in varying roles, which has led to an in-depth understanding of the business and how each department works.

“In my new role I hope to assist in helping Harrison Spinks continue to grow by maintaining the highest standards for our customers. As a forever-changing, family-run business, Harrison Spinks has a great ethos and values – there’s a real sense of community and team work. The business is also leading the way in innovation within the bed industry, which is really exciting to be involved in. I’m looking forward to being part of the team that implements the company’s strategy, in order to achieve our future plans and stand out as the market leader.”

MD at Harrison Spinks, Simon Spinks, says: “Ruairi has been a crucial member of the Harrison Spinks team over the years and his promotion to this key role is testament to his hard work and consistent high standards. His vast experience and knowledge of both the business and the bed industry will be invaluable in helping us to achieve our ambitious plans.”
