Movers and Shakers The right people in the right roles can make all the difference Henley Bridge expands sales force
Ingredients supplier Henley Bridge has expanded its sales force with the addition of two new Business Development Managers. Scott McDaid has been recruited to head up sales in the North of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, whilst Lewis Calver will have responsibility for sales in the South and South East. Both new recruits come from a strong sales background. Former British wrestling champion Scott
previously worked for Rich Sauces and also Bidfood, whilst Lewis honed his sales prowess in the car industry. McDaid said: “I’m very excited to have joined Henley Bridge – their products are brilliant and I’m really impressed by the company’s vision for the future. It just felt like the right move for me.” Calver, a self-confessed football, golf
and darts fanatic, added: “I trained as a chocolatier when I was younger so landing a job working for the UK’s largest independent chocolate supplier feels like a match made in heaven! My industry knowledge will hopefully give me an added dimension and leave me well-placed to advise my customers.” Tracey Hughes, Managing Director of
Henley Bridge, commented: “We’re very pleased to welcome Scott and Lewis, and are looking forward to watching them flourish and further strengthen our sales team.
“2023 is set to be a big year for Henley Bridge with plans for further expansion, and it’s vital that we have proactive and experienced team members, like Lewis and Scott, to help us realise our ambitious sales targets.”
Schubert announce two new members in the management team
Crailsheim-based packaging machine manufacturer Schubert says only with state-of-the-art technology, cutting-edge concepts and non-stop new approaches is it possible to stay ahead of the market, and to understand and meet the demands of today’s and, perhaps even more importantly, tomorrow’s customers. In addition to these criteria for success,
two further areas have emerged as increasingly important in recent years: Purchasing and Human Resources. Almost daily, topics such as material
shortages and availability, rising raw material prices and related news are prevalent. A look at the figures at Gerhard Schubert GmbH reveals how significant the impact of successful purchasing management is in the company. Schubert also deals with the shortage of skilled workers on a daily basis. Some 150 additional jobs were created at Gerhard
Schubert GmbH in 2022/2023, and further growth is planned for the coming years. This can only be achieved with suitably qualified and motivated employees. The logical consequence of employee growth is an extended management team. As of January 2023, the company is strengthening its management and the extended management team: Oliver Palmert, who has been with Schubert since February 2019, is being given authorised signatory power in his function as Director Supply Chain Management as of 1 January 2023 and will be included in the extended management team. Jenny Wacker, who has been managing Schubert’s human resources since March 2022, is also being granted authorised signatory power as of January 2023 and is the first woman to join the extended management team. This sets the course for the company’s continued success in the future.
Oliver Palmert, Director Supply Chain Management, and Jenny Wacker, Director HR, were granted authorised signatory power at Schubert in January 2023.
