“From digital marketing and point of sale merchandising to staff training and product support, the customer is at the heart of everything we do and collaboration is key. I look forward to working with the team to achieve our goals.”
Simpson added: “We have made significant investment in our sales team over the last 12 months and are delighted to welcome Claire on board. Her people management skills and expertise in digital technology will add another dimension to the way we operate, as we aim to deliver a first-rate service that goes beyond that of a product supplier.”
