Utopia Furniture Ltd has appointed Isabel Conn as its new Marketing & Digital Coordinator.

Isabel, who has a first-class honours degree in Visual Communication from Birmingham City University, will be a key member of the marketing team and, in particular, will assist in developing and growing the company’s digital strategy.

Since graduating, Isabel has worked on a number of live creative briefs set by global advertising agency McCann, in customer-focused roles with the McArthurGlen Group and, more recently, within the bathroom sector gaining valuable experience.

Commenting on her new role, Isabel said “I am delighted to be joining this market-leading brand at such an exciting time and look forward to learning a variety of new skills whilst making a positive contribution to the day to day running of the marketing department.”

Helen Clark, Head of Marketing at Utopia, comments “Isabel joins the business at a truly inspiring time as we unveil a host of new products to the market this Spring. With Isabel’s degree experience, creativity and enthusiasm we have no doubt she will be a fantastic addition to the business and will be key in delivering our future marketing campaigns.”

Utopia Bathrooms has strengthened its sales team with the appointment of Daniel Rudge as Business Development Executive for the Eastern region of England.

Daniel has many years’ experience in the KBB sector including over five years with Bathstore, joining as a design sales consultant and rising to store manager with responsibility for both the Aylesbury and Hemel Hempstead branches. More recently, Daniel worked in the flooring industry and it is from this role that he joins Utopia.

Welcoming Daniel to Utopia, Alex Patterson, Head of Retail, comments “We’re delighted that Daniel has joined us in this key role at such an exciting, albeit challenging, time. His expertise in the sector will be invaluable. By investing heavily now in our sales team and our new product development programme, we are ensuring Utopia is well placed to capitalise on the exceptional current demand for bathroom renovations, emerging even stronger than before Covid-19 struck.”

On top of two recent significant product launches, Utopia’s latest initiative is a new Fast Track delivery service offering three to five-day delivery on a dedicated selection of the newly refreshed Qube collection of wall mounted and freestanding bathroom furniture.

The products available via the new Fast Track service are in the popular White Gloss or Pebble Grey Gloss finish and are all detailed in the new Qube brochure.

Helen Clark, Head of Marketing at Utopia Bathrooms, comments, “We understand just how frustrating it can be if schedules change and product is required urgently. We’ve listened to the feedback from some of our customers and are delighted that we can now offer this service. It’s become very clear that there is a requirement for a speedily delivered offering and, with the further development of our new Qube collection, we are now able to offer a selection of this furniture range on a quicker turnaround.”

It’s official! Once again, Utopia has been voted the UK’s Best bathroom Furniture Brand in the annual BKU Awards 2020.

The BKU Award scheme is run by leading industry magazine, Bathroom & Kitchen Update, to recognise and celebrate the very best in the world of bathrooms. For Utopia, to win this award yet again is a genuine endorsement of our core values of inspirational design, premium quality and exceptional customer service.

The BKU Awards are a truly independent stamp of approval as industry professional in their thousands vote for nominated companies to determine who really is the best of the best. Utopia won the coveted Best Bathroom Furniture Brand in 2017 and 2018, was a strong finalist in 2019 and has now reclaimed the title for 2020.

Utopia – proud to be an award-winning British manufacturer of beautiful bathrooms.

Utopia Bathrooms is delighted to announce that its spacious showroom, dramatically updated to showcase the new products and colours scheduled for imminent launch, is now open to visitors strictly by appointment only. In accordance with current guidelines, the company is implementing rigid safety and social distancing procedures to safeguard both staff and visitors.

The extensive mezzanine showroom at the company’s Wolverhampton headquarters presents Utopia’s extensive collection of fitted and modular bathroom furniture through a series of over 45 inspirational lifestyle settings. Styles range from the heritage-inspired Roseberry and Downton through to the Contemporary Fitted collection, Lustre and Opula modular ranges, and the boutique hotel-style Geo, all accessorised with brassware and tiles from Utopia’s complementary collections.

Commenting on the updated showroom, Helen Clark, Head of Marketing, explains, “There’s no substitute for seeing and feeling our products first hand as our retailers will testify and we have received a number of customer enquiries about visiting us. The showroom is therefore an invaluable resource, enabling us to showcase new concepts, products and finishes to retailers along with imaginative display solutions.”

Also key to a number of new displays is the ability to mix and match elements from different ranges to create a bespoke look. Several of the displays demonstrate this interchangeable facility which allows even greater design flexibility.
