Duncan Marr, Managing Director of Franke UK has retired after 37 years with Franke. One of his first big achievements was to achieve annual sales of 1 million in 1976, something now achieved in the first week of each month, but then a sign Franke UK was on the track to success. Michael Pieper, Franke Chief Executive and owner commented We thank Duncan Marr for his personal efforts, his good spirit and unique sense of English humour. We congratulate him on his exceptional and enduring performance and express our sincere appreciation for his professionalism. The new Managing Director for Franke UK is Tracey Bamber. Previously Managing Mirector with Newell Rubbermaid Inc UK Ireland and Vice President of Graco UK, Tracey comments They are big shoes to fill, indeed. I will continue Duncans work in innovation and great products promoting Franke as a brand of preference, not just reference. Duncan is leaving to enjoy his retirement by maximising his investments and minimising his golf handicap.
