Pegler and Louden strides ahead

22 July 2008

Pegler and Louden, the specialist valve and actuator brand within BSS Industrial, has announced its membership of the BVAA (British Valve and Actuator Association).

The announcement follows two significant changes for BSS Industrial's brands: the appointment of John Rees as Brand Director to oversee all activity and the integration of Pegler and Louden into BSS Industrial's specialist offering.

Commenting on the BVAA announcement, John said: "With 100 years of heritage under its belt, Pegler and Louden is no newcomer to the valve and actuation industry, and now sitting alongside three other specialist brands under the BSS Industrial umbrella, it has an exciting future ahead. We have a wider portfolio than ever before and newly appointed process valve technical sales engineers working with our industrial sales force.

"The BVAA champions best practice as well as the continued growth of the industry and these are qualities which Pegler and Louden promotes through its specialist service offering. The BVAA is vital as a collective representation of the industry and as a forward thinking organisation is the perfect match for Pegler and Louden as it continues to move forward in a thriving market."

Previously the company's Regional Director for London and the South East and with experience of industrial valves through roles with Honeywell Industrial controls and Worcester Controls (now Flowserve), John has been tasked with driving BSS Industrial's growth in bespoke industrial sectors through the expertise and service offering of its four specialist brands: Pegler and Louden, Manor, AMS Pumps and Austin Stroud. John is responsible for coordinating a team approach and cross-selling the benefits of each brand to maximise opportunities across all industry sectors.
