The circular economy specialist is expanding its central sales function to harness the power of the larger group and drive additional growth.
Having been through a period of rapid expansion over the past few years driven both by organic growth and through multiple successful acquisitions of industry leading brands, Reconomy has built an impressive international footprint with more than 4,000 colleagues supporting in excess of over 10,000 businesses across more than 80 countries.
To leverage this scale, Reconomy is expanding its central sales and business development function that was created to have a joined-up approach to sales and account management. The function enables Reconomy to deliver a consistently excellent customer service by ensuring customers benefit from a single point of contact within the organisation. It also allows the Company to deliver greater value to its customers by providing them with better access to complementary services across Reconomy’s different divisions or ‘loops’.
The function is organised around Reconomy’s core sectors and is led by Kieran Roche, Group Sales Director. Experienced Account Directors with specialist expertise have been brought in from other parts of the organisation to oversee specific sector verticals. These include:
- Chris Cox – Grocery and retail customers;
- Caroline Ellis – Fashion apparel;
- Dennis Van Appeldorn – Non-food retail; and
- Jamie Roberts – Housebuilding & construction.
Guy Wakeley, Chief Executive at Reconomy, stated: “As we continue on our rapid growth trajectory it is important we have in place the right structures and frameworks to truly harness the strengths of our brands and divisions. This enhanced rigour and stricter discipline towards sales and account management will set us up to win and capture the exciting opportunities in the international circular economy.”
