Steve will not be playing an active part in the Sales team during his notice period and account activity will be overseen by Managing Director, Andrew Downey  and Glynn Davis, in his new role as National Account Director.  Tildenet have recently welcomed Christian Needham as an office based Sales Manager and they will be backed by a team of seven sales support staff at Tildenet’s Bristol Headquarters.

Andrew Downey said: “The team at Tildenet wish Steve Millington well following his valuable time with us. We are looking forward to continuing to develop the business following another recent acquisition and are now actively recruiting a Group Sales and Marketing Director to look after our whole portfolio of brands and companies.”

As part of a continuing period of planned growth for the business, Tildenet have further strengthened their Bristol based warehousing and logistics function with an additional 50,000 sq ft of capacity and state of the art stock control system, ensuring excellent ongoing service to customers.
