History

Tony Shakespeare started Sharay Marketing in the autumn of 1976, acting as a commercial sales agent for bathroom and associated products. After many years working the South East of the country Tony employed Nathan Helms.

Nathan had been working in a busy showroom on the South Coast and had been there about three years when he joined Tony in the summer of 1990. Nathan's enthusiastic approach led to excellent results and after many years of successful teamwork Nathan was appointed as a partner in April 1999.

In January of 2000 Mark Livesey joined the team. Mark had worked with Triton showers as an area sales manager and also for Dimplex heating as a Regional Sales Manager. Mark's professional sales training and similarly professional approach has lead to excellent results in the North London and Northern Home Counties area and as a result of his fine performance Mark was appointed as a partner in April 2002.

Working the competitive area of South London and the South East is Geoff Hogg. Geoff joined us is 2002 after many years working on external sales. He had also worked in both the Merchant and Retail sector and his experience there along with his tenacious approach has proved invaluable.

David Cheshire joined us to work with Mark in the northern part of our area in 2005. David is working alongside Mark in Sharay North. David brings with him first class IT skills and a similarly structured approach to business development. David has fast become an excellent member of Sharay Marketing.

In January 2009 we recruited Angela Cryan. Angela has worked in a very busy North London showroom for 15 years. Her enthusiastic detailed approach and great product knowledge has ensured both stability with our customer base and added further growth in the area. She works alongside Mark in Sharay North.

To further strengthen the depth of coverage in Sharay North we have taken on Tony Smith. Tony has spent some years working in the bathroom retail sector and Tony’s conscientious and thorough approach will help him use those same skills to good effect on the road. Tony started with us in November 2009.

The latest appointment has been Lee Munday. Lee joined us in July 2010 and is working alongside Nathan, Geoff and Mike. Lee managed a busy Surrey showroom for 8 years and his excellent product knowledge and attention to detail will yield excellent results.

Mike Kidd has joined Sharay in November 2010 and is working alongside Nathan in the Sharay South region. Mike has worked in a large showroom and latterly had spent 2 years on the road with Twyfords.

We have found that with a team of 8 people covering this area yields both excellent results and build a sound relationship with our customer base. The depth of coverage means that we can deliver first class service to our customer base and represent our principles to the highest standards.
