As sales heat up, Char-Broil promotes high-performing sales manager
 

Char-Broil is delighted to announce that Luke Hopkins, formerly Char-Broil UK National Sales Manager has been promoted to General Sales Manager for UK and Ireland.

 

Luke has been with Char-Broil for just over a year, and during that time has helped increase distribution and build sales to unprecedented levels for the brand in the UK.

 

In his new role, Luke will be firing up Char-Broil’s business even further within the UK and Ireland, and identifying and developing additional retail channels for the brand and its best-selling ranges.

 

“We’re delighted to give Luke the promotion he truly deserves,” says Ian Railton, Managing Director, Char-Broil Europe.  “He’s responsible for an impressive uplift in our UK sales and has the energy and focus that we need to help build the Char-Broil brand even further in both the UK and Ireland.”

 

Luke has strong knowledge and experience from within the industry, having worked previously at Landmann and the Van Hage Garden Centre in Peterborough. He’s now also a director of the Leisure & Outdoor Furniture Association (LOFA) working to promote brands within the UK gardening industry.

 

Char-Broil UK has had a very successful start to the year, with an increased number of retailers and garden centres taking on a wider selection of the brand’s innovative Gas2Coal and TRU-Infrared BBQ grills – including strong take-up of the new Performance Pro and Performance Core models, which are new for 2022.
