Bonnington Plastics expands Kingfisher Buying Team

Kingfisher has strengthened its buying department by appointing two new experienced members.

As Buying Manager, Charlotte Bator is responsible for the purchasing and development team, ensuring products arrive on time, whilst offering value for money key market ranges.  With over 6 years’ experience in sourcing and supplying to retail, as well as positions held within a global retail office, Charlotte has vast commercial knowledge and is looking forward to leading the purchasing team on to a great future.

Also joining the company is Trainee Buyer Holly Martin, who has buying experience specialising in the direct dispatch of furniture and large garden items.  A talented all-rounder, Holly has previously excelled in sales on a national scale, but it is in purchasing that she feels her true strengths lie.  She will be responsible for the purchasing, stock inventory, management, pricing and general product maintenance of several key product categories, including gardening, homewares and heating.
