IN FOCUS Neil Clark, Franke UK
2019 brings a brand new regular feature to The Installer Magazine called ‘IN FOCUS, ‘where we look at the working and personal life of an industry personality. We are delighted to launch this series by interviewing Neil Clark, the highly respected Managing Director of Franke UK. How long have you been at Franke? I joined the Franke Group in 2004 as Sales and Marketing Director for Carron Phoenix and moved to Franke UK in January 2013. What is your industry history before joining Franke? Prior to that I was in the electronics industry - everything from power supplies to automotive sensors to radar systems! Were your impressions of Franke before you joined the company accurate? Yes. Having worked for our sister company, Carron Phoenix, for eight years, I had a clear idea of how the group and the UK business were operating. If so, have the opportunities to improve the company that you envisaged been difficult to implement and why? No - we have a fantastic team here with a progressive outlook. We’ve made significant progress in all areas, but especially in consumer care and marketing. The challenge is how to move the business forward without damaging what has gone before. 52
