Rational strengthens public sector support with 2 appointments
Abstract
Rational UK has strengthened its support for the industry with the appointment of Darren Hemsley and David Gledhill as area sales managers for the public sector.

Both move into these specialist roles following their experience as regional sales managers at Rational, where they have built long-standing relationships with dealers, consultants and end users across a wide range of professional kitchen environments.

Their appointments reflect Rational’s continued investment in experienced people who understand the realities of commercial catering and can provide informed, practical support to the public sector.

In their new positions, reporting into Colin Parry, national sales director at Rational UK, the duo will work closely with healthcare, education, local authority and care catering teams. Their focus will be on helping operators achieve consistency, efficiency and long-term reliability in demanding environments.

Rational cooking systems are already well established across public sector kitchens, valued for their robustness, ease of use and proven performance.

In addition to working directly with customers and partners, the duo will continue to support key industry associations and attend sector conferences, operating responsibly and in line with public sector marketing guidelines.
