Lee said “With the businesses further commitment to building on the foundations that this multi million pound UK based business already has in place, these are exciting times for the business, its longstanding and future customers alike. I have enjoyed the last 12 months in which we have built on existing relationships already in place in addition to building new ones too. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Charles to the team, and wish him good luck in a rewarding role within a business I know is willing to work with its ever-growing client base to supply some of the best value products within the industry. The growth plans we have for the business are ambitious, and it’s great to have him on board for this journey”
