Drain Doctor names new managing director

Rick Howcroft joins plumbing and draining specialist from kitchen makeover company Dream Doors

Drain Doctor has appointed Rick Howcroft as its new managing director.

He’ll be responsible for managing the company’s nationwide network of 65 locations covering England, Scotland and Wales and will also work with Drain Doctor’s Republic of Ireland team.

Rick joined the drainage and plumbing specialist from kitchen makeover company Dream Doors, where he began as a regional business development manager before taking on a regional director role.

Rick has also held several directorial roles within construction businesses and has set up and run his own business within the same sector.

He takes the helm at an exciting time for Drain Doctor, after it welcomed 10 new franchise owners in 2020, more than any other year to date.

Rick says: “I’m delighted to join Drain Doctor and look forward to working with the team as we continue our journey after another successful year.

“I’m excited to have the opportunity to work with the progressive and hardworking team at Drain Doctor and we will continue to provide an unrivalled first class service to all our customers across the UK.

He adds: “I’m dedicated to progress the Drain Doctor brand on all fronts. 

“We want to help our current franchisees reach the next level and grow our presence and market penetration across the UK.”
