Following continued success in 2022, Richard Haworth has appointed Ravi Ruia as its new business development manager.

Ruia, who has spent the last five years working in the food delivery sector with market leaders Deliveroo and Delivery Hero, will be focused on helping Richard Haworth gain market share in the London hotel market. Their range of bed, bath and table linens are already used by some of London’s most distinguished hotels, restaurants and spas, including The Savoy and The Goring.

Speaking about his appointment, Ruia said: “Richard Haworth has a rich history and strong product offering which I cannot wait to share with housekeepers throughout London. I am also looking forward to collaborating with a passionate, knowledgeable team we are fortunate to have at Richard Haworth.

“In my previous role I was fortunate enough to lead sales teams in the UK, Ireland, Singapore and Hong Kong, having worked my way up from a tele-sales agent to sales leadership roles.”

As well as winning new business from hotels in the capital city and growing its existing London hotel accounts, Ravi’s role will also encompass product development, to meet the needs and trends of London’s hospitality industry.

Raj Ruia, director of Richard Haworth commented: “We are delighted to welcome Ravi to the Richard Haworth team and have a permanent presence for our clients in London. Ravi is now a third generation Ruia in the business, which was founded by his grandfather, and we are proud that he has chosen to take the next step in his career with us.”
