To always be the best I can be

UK Sales Manager @ Responsible for the development and growth of both new and existing accounts nationwide for Rivacold UK Ltd. Rivacold UK Ltd was formed in December 2006 when Rivacold SRL in Italy purchased the Russell UK Company from the P&M Group. Russell had been distributing the Rivacold product since the late 90’s and the next logical step to gain better market penetration was for Rivacold to open its own operation in the UK. Rivacold UK Ltd is based in Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire just a stones throw from junction 9 of the M5 Motorway and consists of a 20,000ft2 Warehouse and offices. On site we have our own stand alone team including Sales staff and Technical support engineers all with a wealth of knowledge of both Rivacold and Russell UK products going back 20 years. Deliveries from Italy come in to Tewkesbury 2 or 3 times a week so stock availability is rarely an issue. A full range of bespoke products is also available. All of this allows us to offer a full and competitive service from a UK based operation. Rivacold have a comprehensive national and international sales network offering prompt technical and commercial assistance together with an optimal quality-price ratio. Rivacold have a number of internationally recognised certifications including UNI EN ISO 9001, which was first accredited in 1995. Quality has always been a major influence at Rivacold, and has recently been further enhanced by adopting a internal quality policy aimed at both company development and customer satisfaction in the respect of national and international standards.
