Previously territory manager for the North of England, Mr Wardle has been at Waterloo for 13 years and has over 34 years’ experience in air distribution.

His appointment reflects Waterloo’s continued growth and the appreciation that many customers work on a national basis.

The new role will act as a catalyst for the creation of framework agreements, centralised purchasing and the creation of a national account to provide an enhanced customer experience. Part of this will be the use of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to streamline the process across the supply chain and operations, as well as the application of technology across the Waterloo product portfolio.

The appointment also comes at a time when Waterloo is moving to an integrated product proposition, enabling a more efficient specification process amongst the company’s key audiences including architects, consultants, contractors and building owners.
