It may seem unlikely that Tim Henman and Nigel Denning of Ideal Bathrooms would have anything in common. However, not only have both recently announced their retirement, but both play each year at Wimbledon.
Nigel Denning, who retired in August after 26 years at Ideal Bathrooms, is a keen tennis player and competes in the annual National Veterans tournament at the All England Club - although he’d rather meet Tim off the court than on!
Beginning his sales career with Procter & Gamble in 1965, Nigel was proud to receive a Leading Salesman’s gold watch award while with the company. In 1969 he entered the bathroom industry when he joined French bathroom cabinet manufacturer, Allibert and then progressed to the Sales Team at Fordham Plastics. Little did he realise that he would still be in the bathroom industry some 38 years later!
In 1981, Fowzi and Isaac Baroukh were planning a bold business venture in Kingston upon Thames by opening an elaborate bathroom showroom and setting up a distribution business. Fowzi approached Nigel, asked if he would like to join them, and he became Ideal Bathrooms’ first employee.
Nigel has seen many changes within the bathroom industry during his time at Ideal Bathrooms. The market has become increasingly sophisticated and there has been a shift in the importance of the bathroom from a room of function to a major selling feature of the house. Best of luck in your retirement, Nigel, and perhaps Tiger Tim had better watch out!
