Hire Supply Company - Meet the team
John Wright Quality Conformance Coordinator “I’ve been here for six years next month. What I love most about my job is the
knowledge I’ve gained, and that I keep gaining. When I first started it was just a nine to five, but it’s become much than that and I decided to keep pushing myself – any qualification I’m offered, I take it. I look after quality control and I do a lot of the electrical testing. I enjoy the legal aspects of my work. I make sure the CE certificates are up to scratch and I put the suppliers through their paces!”
Jonathan Reek Credit Controller “This is my eleventh year. The best part of my job is seeing the money come in and not
listening to any excuses for not paying! I’m joking, of course, as my approach is much more friendly. I prefer to get to know customers first, which is better than threatening to close their accounts. We have the usual suspects who pay slowly, but you get used to them. Otherwise, I find that a relaxed approach works best.”
Matthew Palfreeman Group Buyer “I’ve been here nearly seven years. I was in charge of the maintenance and purchasing
for the spare parts department, but since Kevin Lever retired I’ve taken on buying for the whole group. It’s been a big step up because I only used to deal with single pallet deliveries. Now I need to think about containers coming in. I also have to look further into the future, examining data from previous years and looking for trends so that we can forecast more accurately. I still have to do my old job too, but it’s never dull as I’ve always got something to do.”

Reiss Lindsay Sales Advisor
“The main part of my job is making sure that customers are happy. I’ve only been with the company for four months, but I was working in B2C sales before that. Business to business is much better because you can build better relationships with customers – it’s great to deal with people who actually want to buy your products. The best thing about working here is the banter in the office – it’s a great place to work!”
Callum McWilliam Sales Advisor
“Yes, (MD) Gary McWilliam is my dad. I did a business course at college and then I started here three years ago. It’s good working here because everyone are mates, there’s no office politics and nobody with a bad attitude. I get to use some aspects of my training, but it’s ten times different to what they teach you in the classroom. I’m only 20 and still live at home, but it never gets awkward!”
