NEW LOOK TEAM
The revamped trade counter and showroom are not the only new additions to Stevenson & Reid’s Omagh branch.
Phillip Gormley, Branch Manager, and Shirelle Griffith, Showroom Manager, both joined the company in August while work was underway on the branch, and the pair bring extensive industry experience to their new roles.
Phillip was previously with MacBlair and Bassetts while Shirelle arrives from her previous role at PTS Enniskillen. The two new appointees join Brendan McCann, the company’s long-term storeman and driver who has been working at the branch for over a decade.
“The Omagh branch is really well established with a loyal customer base, so we are looking forward to building on this firm position,” explained Phillip. “We are working to develop our offering to the retail sector while also maintaining, and improving, our trade services.
“In fact, the new showroom is the perfect example of how we can offer the best of both worlds, with our trade customers now being able to direct their customers into our branch to select the bathroom products they want.
“Both Shirelle and I have a lot of industry experience and we have been able to rely on Brendan’s knowledge of the branch to keep us right. It’s a small team, but a strong one.”
