The iconic bathroom company, Thomas Crapper, launched an exciting rebranding programme early in 2022 and has been going from strength to strength ever since. In order to optimise this rapid growth in business, three new Business Development Managers have been appointed; all are self-employed bathroom professionals. “As we continue to grow as a business, it was proving increasingly challenging for us to dedicate the time needed for visiting our deserving customers. We are happy, therefore, to welcome three new members to our team.” explains Paul Dwyer, Managing Director of Thomas Crapper. David Wakefield, will cover the South West, from Gloucestershire down to Cornwall, and along the South Wales coast. As well as Thomas Crapper, David also represents Fiora, Sagittarius brassware,…

Thomas Crapper is a luxury manufacturer known for high quality, hand-made products with beautiful traditional styling for bathrooms, cloakrooms and en-suites. It is an iconic British brand with a heritage spanning back to 1861 (that’s older than Marks and Spencer!) Some people associate the brand with “just” WC’s; but the name spans so much more.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc and the different levels of each may lead to slight differences in this shading which, again, is perfect for the live, personal bathroom. When buying brass items, or products described as brass, always check whether they are actual brass…

Is the word Christmas being slipped into a few of your conversations lately?  This time it’s popped up for a worthwhile reason (not quite festive baubles and bubbles yet) – for Thomas Crapper to shout about the iconic cloakrooms! People are already busy planning festive gatherings at home so it’s no surprise we want to dust off the good Champagne coupes and serving plates and ensure the house is in tiptop condition – but let’s not forget about the downstairs loo! It is the one space that your guests spend time – and can have a quiet look around in judgment!! This is where candles may burn, literature (or cartoon books) be read and wallpaper/colours be diverse – it should…
