Global Plumbing Group EMEAA

Based in the UK, sales, distribution and marketing plans are developed for the Perrin & Rowe, Shaws, Riobel and Victoria + Albert brands across Europe, the Middle East, and Australia/New Zealand. Operations for Perrin & Rowe (Rainham and Wolverhampton), Shaws (Darwen) and Victoria + Albert (Telford and South Africa) are also managed from the UK. 

Each of these individual brands have their own unique and independent heritage, and have been acquired by Fortune Brands over the last 5 years. In 2021, they have been grouped together under the House of Rohl label – effectively a trading name for the Global Plumbing Group.
