On 3 February Geberit announced the fulfilment of all conditions for the acquisition of the Sanitec Group. As part of the integration of the two groups, Geberit has appointed Mark Larden as managing director for Geberit and Twyford in the UK and Ireland.

Mr Larden (pictured right) will start his new role on 7 April and until then the current management teams will continue to lead the business.

Twyford’s Brent Hudson will take on a new role within the management of the combined business. Brent’s new role will be communicated along with the announcement of the new UK / Ireland management team.

The new management team of the integrated companies will be announced by 7 April and the new roles become effective from that date. In addition, from that date there will be no changes to the day-to-day operations as the breadth of the combined organisation will continue in parallel until further notice. Any changes to existing contact points within Geberit and Twyford will be communicated directly to all customers and stakeholders as they become effective.

The companies are committed to ensuring that service will be uninterrupted throughout the integration.
