We're delighted to announce that Jim Murray has joined OEM-Demesne as Chief Sales & Supplier Officer. For many of our customers and supplier partners across Ireland, Jim won't need much of an introduction.

Jim spent 18 years at Demesne Electrical before moving on to Rittal & Eplan Ireland, where he spent the last 8 years progressing from Area Sales Manager to Sales Director, and ultimately Country Manager. In that time he built deep expertise across power distribution, cooling, IT infrastructure and industrial automation, working with customers right across Ireland and Central Europe.

Now, he's back — and the timing couldn't be more fitting.

As Demesne Electrical transitions into OEM under the wider OEM International group, Jim steps in at a defining moment for the business. In his new role, he'll lead all sales and supplier activities across the group, ensuring our strategy translates into results for customers, suppliers, and the team.

Jim's appointment strengthens an already strong management team, and brings a sales leader who understands both sides of the counter — the Demesne customer relationships built over nearly two decades, and the end user rigour developed at Rittal & Eplan.

It's a combination that matters as the business enters its next chapter. Customers will see continuity in the people and service they've always trusted, alongside a broader capability that comes with being part of the OEM International group. Suppliers gain a partner who has sat in their shoes and knows what good looks like.

Asked what his priorities will be in the months ahead, Jim's answer is characteristically direct:

Please join us in welcoming Jim to the team.
