STRATEGIC ALLIANCES Christeyns UK has announced the appointment of Stuart Fullerton as the new General Manager for Alex Reid, the Leicester-based supplier of laundry and dry cleaning products.
Alex Reid is an established name in the laundry business and supplies national companies such as Johnsons, Jeeves, Waitrose and Morrisons, as well as more than 3,000 independent laundry outlets across the UK. The firm provides essential consumables, chemicals, laundry supplies, sundries, machinery, spares and parts, stocking over 3,500 items in total.
Stuart joined Alex Reid in 2015 as Head of Finance, working across all internal departments at the firm. Originally from Lincolnshire, he has a wealth of commercial experience, having been involved in a number of business sectors and an in- depth knowledge of the distribution industry in particular. In his new role as General Manager, Stuart will be leading the company forward as they enter a new period of regeneration and growth.
“It is an exciting time to be at Alex Reid and I am delighted to be taking over the helm as we look forward to a new stage in its development. With the excellent, enthusiastic team we already have on board and new strategic business plans in place, we will continue to build on the strong foundations laid over many decades.”
One of Stuart’s first tasks has been to introduce new branding and oversee a complete company refresh. The new branding is the start of a roll-out plan that will see new livery for its fleet of vehicles as well as a re-design and update of the warehousing and office complex in Leicester. The company has also announced two new valuable strategic alliances with
