WILLIAM SINCLAIR HOLDINGS PLC
("the Company" or "Sinclair")
SINCLAIR 'SUPERFORCE' SEES RETAIL AND PROFESSIONAL SALES TEAMS
MERGE
Leading growing media, fertilisers and chemicals producer,
William Sinclair Horticulture has combined its retail and
professional sales teams into a single 'superforce' which it claims
will bring service and logistics benefits to all customers as the
Company commissions its new state of-the-art GBP15 million growing
media production facility at Ellesmere Port.
Announcing the new sales structure, Commercial Director, Richard
Carr said that Sinclair's new integrated Ellesmere Port hub made a
unified supply chain not only possible but also highly advantageous
in terms of efficiency, flexibility and service levels as the
Company gears up to ship a raft of major new products for 2015.
Richard Carr, Commercial Director said:
"With many of our customers buying both retail and professional
products from us, and those products soon to be made and shipped
from a world-class supersite, an integrated sales team will help
both them and us. In many cases, we will be able to ship both
retail and professional products on the same lorry so logistics
benefits will accrue from a more dynamic, agile and efficient
supply chain."
The restructuring has seen the appointment of Chris Hepburn,
formerly with Hozelock, to fill the new cross-company role of
Horticultural Sales Director; and Jon Watson takes on the new role
of National Retail Sales Director with responsibility for national
accounts. Tony Nelson has joined from Westland to become Northern
Regional Sales Manager while Tara Truman assumes a new role as
Southern Regional Sales Manager.
Several existing sales executives have been given more senior
roles as cross-company Area Sales Managers, nine of whom will cover
the country with back-up from local distributors as needed.
Large growers who require more technical support will be
serviced by three new dedicated Senior Professional Sales Managers
combining many years of experience - Jon Evans, covering the west,
Cliff Day (east) and Hayley Perrin (south).
The Company, owner of famous brands such as J. Arthur Bower's,
New Horizon, Growing Success, Silvaperl, DeadFast and Sinclair
Professional, says that it has taken down the barriers that
segregated its retail and professional businesses and that all
customers can now buy and sell both ranges.
Amongst other company operations, Ellesmere Port houses
Sinclair's leading edge technology dedicated to the production of
high performance peat-free retail compost made from composted wood
which comes on stream in August following a five year research,
design and building programme.
