Tembe DIY, one of the UK’s leading building and decorating suppliers, are delighted to announce that they have created an Irish Division and have joined Hardware Association Ireland as part of their expansion into Ireland.
Tembe have also just recently announced the arrival of Tony White, who will be running the Irish business in the role of Sales Director. Many of you will already know Tony. If you haven’t had the pleasure, he has over 25 years of experience in the construction industry.
Tony explains “I began my career as a Painter and Decorator Apprentice and moved on to Crown Paints, where I spent 14 years in a management role. I then advanced to managing head office operations with Irish Paint Manufacturer, General Paints, for three years, before moving into a leadership role as a National Sales Manager with Axus Décor”.
“Throughout my career, I’ve built strong relationships across the industry, driven by a commitment to quality, teamwork, and results. Outside of work, I’m passionate about coaching senior football teams and academies, as well as enjoying good company over a meal out with the family or a tv box set, with House of Guinness being a current favourite. I’m excited to get stuck in and look forward to introducing our Hippo and Filltite brands to Ireland and to meeting you at The Hardware Show, www.thehardwareshow.ie in the RDS on 15th/16th February 2026 at Stand Number B39“.
