Since January of this
year Green-tech has welcomed 16 new starters and seen three promotions.
The new starters are
across all departments and include Tim Howcroft who joins us on a secondment to
fulfil a newly created position as Warehouse Systems Manager. Tim will oversee
the setting up of a more advanced warehousing operation which will become effective
once the phase 2 warehousing is built for Green-tech.
Joshua Hebden, Joshua
Rimmer, John Turton, AJ Paralimnitis and Jack Isaac have all joined the
ever-expanding warehouse team to accommodate increased despatch hours and a
notable upturn in the number of orders being processed.
The sales team is
being supported with the addition of Emily Watson, Ben Scargill, Declan Rayner,
Joe Aikman and Ben Hudson. Green-tech has an ambitious growth strategy and aims
to reach £20 million turnover. The addition of these new sales advisors is vital
to the success of this.
All support functions
have been given increased capacity. Lucy Auckland and Kieran Farmery have
joined the marketing team in administration support positions. Sandra Craven
joins the accounts team as Credit Controller and a new position as IT Manager
has been created which is being fulfilled by Lisa Penny. Susie Hart joined as
an Interim Buyer to cover maternity leave but has agreed to stay on permanently
to handle additional procurement duties that this department is handling.
In addition to the new
starters there has been several internal moves which has seen Liam Corbett move
into the recently opened Green-tech Trade Centre as their Trade Centre
Assistant. George Shepherd, one of Green-tech’s apprentices has moved into the
marketing department as their Online Sales Administrator and Alasdair Innes is
supporting the specification team as a Product Specification Advisor.
Managing Director
Rachel Kay said that 2019 is the company's 25th
trading year and has seen unprecedented growth in staff numbers.
"The business is
virtually unrecognisable from even five years ago and I’m delighted with the
team we have," she added. "Even though we are a much larger
organisation our core values remain the same and our people remain at the
forefront of our success. We have a lively and youthful culture which
makes coming into work each day interesting and fun.”
Chairman Richard Kay
continues: “We have a very clear business plan and our first strategic goal is
to get the business to £20 million turnover. This won’t happen by chance
so we need to prepare for it. Ramping up our staffing and creating essential
new posts will enable us to achieve our goals.”
