McLoughlinsRS have have announced the new appointment of Niall Nugent as their Sales Director with immediate effect. Niall returns to the business where his career in the hardware and gardening industry began in 1985. After spending the last 13 years heading up the Ames True Temper business in Cork, Niall returns to his home city of Dublin.
Niall spent 26 years with McLoughlinsRS and in that time, had many roles including area manager, key accounts manager, sales manager and eventually progressed to sales director following the acquisition of the Dublin based RS Sales business in 2006. “I’m thrilled to be back where it all began and the amount of well wishes and positive comments I have received over the past few weeks has been nothing short of amazing”, says Niall. Niall goes on to say, “The market has changed significantly in the past few years and the time is perfect for a business like McLoughlinsRS to lead the way in how to excel in such changing times”.
The McLoughlinsRS site in Finglas is one of the largest and most impressive operations in the industry today with total warehouse capacity in excess of 10,000 pallet spaces supported by a headcount of 60+ dedicated personnel across all departments. “An additional acquisition of the Wicklow based business, Radius Distribution, in August of last year has been a huge eye opener for us, in the sense of exposing us to new categories such as domestic appliances and kitchenware to some very different channels to where we would normally operate” says Niall. Exciting times ahead!
