New Sales Representative for Glencrest Seatex and Katie Blake

Anna Koladynska has been appointed New Sales Representative for Glencrest Seatex and Katie Blake.

 

"Anna who has been working in our offices for some time now has always been keen to become a Sales Representative and after seeing her performance at the last SOLEX exhibition where she helped man the stand we agree," said Managing Director Jack Whiteley.

 

"Anna knows the products including our range of Katie Blake Outdoor Furniture and Glencrest Cushions and Parasols in some depth and is able to advise customers and help with any issues on a face to face basis.

 

"Anna enjoys meeting people and wants to move her career forward and this is an excellent opportunity for her. She is very polite and likable and has bundles of energy."

 

Initially Anna will work alongside National Sales Manager Steve Wain where she will get his many years of experience, after which she will be making appointments to visit customers and working with our Sales Team nationwide.

 

"Our range of Katie Blake Furniture has seen sales increase this season by a massive 40% which is great news," added Jack.

 

"It has been a difficult season for all suppliers with delays from the Far East, terrible exchange rates and bad weather early on and the shipping lines being difficult hasn’t helped. For this reason we are planning production now for 2019 and will be holding an increased stock in China ready for shipment pre-season."

 

If you would like Anna to come and see you just call the office: 01702 527814 or call Steve Wain on 07967 553625.
