Somerset-based Durston Garden Products has appointed Jerry Walker as national sales manager.

Jerry has worked across a broad spectrum of business sectors, including gardening, with spells at Gardman and William Sinclair, where he was responsible for a number of top accounts, selling to independent and multiple retailers.

 He said he would be spending as much time in the field as possible. “I am also pleased to be working once again with the gardening and DIY fraternity which is an extremely tight-knit community and a real pleasure to be part of,” he added.
