Gardman appoints a Product Standards Manager
Gardman has just appointed a Product Standards Manager for the first time to support the growth of the business and the expansion of its China operations. Alex Martin joins from AMDEA (Association of Manufacturers of Domestic Appliances) where he was Technical Officer.

Previously at Sony and Powergen, Alex will be responsible for compliance and product quality, and he will also be developing Gardman’s sustainability policy.

Alex reports to Andrew Bremer, Head of Category Management who says, “As we develop more new categories and build our sourcing in China, it’s crucial that we have correct and consistent standards across the business.”
