Hurst promotes Julie Rose to National Business Manager

Hurst has promoted Julie Rose to National Business Manager following her three-year stint as a Regional Business Manager at the company.

With extensive sector experience, including ten years spent in sales at Distinction Doors, Julie brings comprehensive industry knowledge and a strong professional network to the Hurst stable.

While continuing to manage the South East area, Julie will support the management and development of the national sales team, working closely with Sales Director, Mark Atkinson, to drive performance and put plans into action.

“Julie is a well-known and respected industry figure, and she’s really proved her worth over the past three years she’s spent with us at Hurst,” said Mark.

“We like to promote from within, where possible, and we’ll be investing in Julie’s continued growth with ongoing support from senior leadership, so her journey will be onwards and upward from here.”

Julie’s promotion forms part of a strengthened sales team, which includes Emma McDonald, who recently returned to Hurst to boost customer engagement in the South West.

Commenting on her promotion, Julie said: “I’ve had a fantastic three years at Hurst so far, and I’m very much looking forward to my next chapter as National Business Manager.

“I’m very passionate about the door sector, and I love what I do, so it’s great to be part of such a professional company that is truly dedicated to both its customers and its craft.

“It’s wonderful to have Emma back after a year away, and I’m excited about working with her, Mark and the rest of the Hurst team to achieve great things in the future.”

Mark added: “At Hurst, our people are our strength, so we’re delighted to have both Julie and Emma onboard. We know our customers will benefit greatly from their extensive experience, knowledge and friendly support.”
