Primus expands with new sales team

 

Primus, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of handcrafted and eye-catching gifts for the home and garden, is going from strength to strength with a significant expansion to its sales team; having made nine new full time appointments over the summer.

 

Highly recognised and renowned within the industry already, the new appointments firmly bolster the Primus sales team for what is set to be a record-breaking year for the firm.  Having successfully broken the £1m turnover barrier this year, the future is certainly looking buoyant with exciting times ahead.

 

The new additions to Primus give the brand increased penetration across the UK with Matt Thomasson, Mark Lucas, Stuart Denholm, Richard Knights, Andy Looby, Andy Mold, Ed Willoughby, Peter McAlister and Stephen Manns setting their sights firmly on increased brand awareness and increased brand presence in outlets across the UK and Ireland. 

 

Steve Perry, Head of Marketing at Primus, said: “This is a pivotal time for Primus where we feel we now have the necessary blocks in place and firm foundations to grow significantly, yet sustainably over the coming 12 months; and it is a pleasure to have the new team on board who all share our vision and goals.  The ethos at Primus is to consistently bring something new to the market which doesn’t compromise on quality and we feel we can achieve that and more with the new team onboard.”
