Building materials supplier, Travis Perkins<\/a>, has appointed Kieran Griffin as managing director for the group\u2019s Travis Perkins builders\u2019 merchant business following the retirement of Paul Tallentire<\/h2>\n

Kieran Griffin first joined Travis Perkins 24 years ago as a management apprentice, after which he quickly rose through the ranks to become branch manager and later regional director of the builders’ merchant business. Griffin was then promoted to MD for the group\u2019s interior building products specialist CFF in 2008 before taking on the reins for leading supplier of civil, drainage and heavy building materials<\/a> Keyline in 2013.<\/p>\n

CEO for Travis Perkins plc John Carter said: \u201cDuring his long and successful career with the Travis Perkins Group Kieran has developed a track record for providing clear and strategic leadership that generates outstanding results and outperforms the market, often in challenging circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has delivered particularly outstanding results in his most recent role as managing director for BSS, and I believe he is very well placed to build on our commercial strength and develop our merchant model for future growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kieran Griffin added: \u201cI am very excited to take up this position. My goal is to make it easier for our customers to do business with us so that we make Travis Perkins the first choice for the best builders in town.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the best people, and so there is no doubt in my mind that by empowering them, we have the capacity to invigorate our focus on customer and service capability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kieran Griffin has been appointed with immediate effect.<\/p>\n
