Town & Country appoint ex-Solus sales staff


Town & Country has made two new appointments to its sales division as it continues to develop the business with an increased product portfolio and growing brand presence.

Mark Butler takes up the position of UK Sales Manager, where he will be responsible for building business within key accounts, supporting the sales force and developing new markets. Mark has worked in the industry for more than 25 years, having held key account manager roles with leading garden sector names including Solus and Sinclair.

Bringing a wealth of expertise to the company is Terry Murphy who joins as National Accounts Manager. With a total of 30 years’ experience within the UK and international garden centre sectors, Terry will be responsible for the company’s UK garden centre groups as well as the buying group accounts.  He joins following a six year stint in a similar role at Solus, having previously worked with Ronseal.

Barry Page, Town & Country’s Chief Executive commented:  “The expertise that Mark and Terry bring to the business will be vital in helping drive the brand forward.  Trading conditions in the industry continue to be challenging, but the last 12 months have been excellent for us.  The implementation of our Growth Development Programme has produced some extraordinary results, with some of our customers showing increases in excess of 250% compared to the previous year.”
