LeisureGrow Group enhances sales force with new appointments
In response to a growing customer base and increased brands within the group, LeisureGrow Group has increased its sales team, with five new industry specialists joining the LeisureGrow family.



New to the team are three new Area Sales Managers who will be working across the LG Outdoor, Grillstream barbeques, NOMA seasonal decorations and Erin horticulture brands:  Jacqui Sutcliffe in the Midlands, Lisa Brierley in the North West, and Catriona Exeter in Scotland.  

Jacqui Sutcliffe will be familiar to many customers having been in the industry for 15 years, and specifically working within Christmas for the past five years.  Lisa Brierley joins from a market leading company with 7 years’ proven track record within the core gardening sector of the industry.  Catriona is widely known to many garden centres in Scotland with over ten years’ experience in the gift industry.

Joining to look after NOMA seasonal decorations are two new National Accounts Managers:  Colin Armitage (below), who has been working with retailers in the gift industry for more than 30 years; and Lee Kennerley (left), who brings his 20 years’ experience of home, gift and seasonal decorations to the NOMA brand.

Meanwhile Mark Nickerson, who has been with LeisureGrow for 7 years’ has been made National Sales Manager; and Stuart Warren returns to East Anglia from the North-West, servicing customers he previously looked after for many years.

Jody Grimmer, Managing Director of LeisureGrow said:  “We want to ensure all our customers get the great service and reliability they expect from LeisureGrow, which is why we’ve picked the people who we believe are the best in the business to be a part of our sales team.  As products and technologies across all our brands – NOMA, LG Outdoor, Grillstream and Erin – become more and more sophisticated we are ensuring our personnel matches this in expertise, product knowledge, and customer service that’s second to none.
