Bathroom brand Hansgrohe, has unveiled its new Warwick-based UK headquarters. The new facility was officially opened by Hansgrohe Group CEO, Hans Juergen Kalmbach, and Managing Director for Hansgrohe UK & Ireland, Jay Phillips.
Part of the new HQ is a purpose-built Installer Academy training centre, designed to deliver first-class, hands-on training for trade professionals. Part of strengthening its offering to the trade, the expansion in training facilities provides enhanced access to technical support from Hansgrohe’s product experts and the opportunity for direct, practical experience across the product portfolio.
Designed to give installers an all-round understanding of the products, fitting requirements and performance, before they head out to site, training courses will begin later in the year.

Jay Phillips, Managing Director of Hansgrohe UK & Ireland, commented: “It is a real pleasure to open the doors of our HQ and officially call Warwick our new home.
“The central location, just off the M40, means we are more accessible than ever to our customers. And, by more than doubling the size of our previous HQ in Surrey, we can have everything available under one roof, from a spacious showroom and training, to warehousing and distribution. This will ensure we are able to best meet the needs of our busy customers and support them with their business.
“We recently expanded our product portfolio to ensure we can provide full bathroom solutions, and, in the coming years, we have ambitious plans to take the company further forward through continued product innovation and market leadership.
“This significant investment in our state-of-the-art new head office is a vital part of making these plans a reality.”
