Norwood Interiors - the award-winning Leeds and Brighouse kitchen, bedroom and bathroom retailer has appointed its first ever Sales & Marketing Director for the stores, Julie Gokce, who was previously Sales Manager.
With showrooms in Kirsktall and Brighouse, Norwood was established more than 25 years ago and has grown to be one of the largest specialist home interior retailers in the area. Combined the two showrooms feature almost 100 inspirational displays of the latest stylish kitchen, bedroom and bathroom furniture.
Julie, from Bradford started her career at Classic Kitchens in 1985, working with a variety of well-known brands. She has been at Norwood for almost 20 years, designing kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms in homes across Yorkshire. Julie was also responsible for the interior design inspiration for the Norwood’s own showrooms.
Julie commented: “I am so excited about this new role. The dedicated Norwood team have been designing and installing dream rooms across Yorkshire and we are all passionate about creating wonderful inspiring quality interiors for our customers.”
Design is her passion and Julie also renovates and rebuilds property in her spare time.
Last year Norwood was acquired by the £100m+ My House Group and is now an integral part of its Interiors Division. My House Group own a wide range of other nationwide home improvement companies, including Christies Bedrooms and Kitchens, window and door firm Weatherseal and home maintenance company A Job Worth Doing.
Claire Parker from My House Group Interiors Division commented: “We very quickly recognised that Julie has a huge talent and enthusiasm for creating quality inspirational design. She is the perfect person for this new role, with her track record and experience spanning 25 years which will give her more scope to lead the team at both showrooms and to ensure the operation is even more successful.”
