VBH strengthens sales team with key appointments

Hardware supplier, VBH, has recently strengthened both its internal and external sales teams with two new appointments.

The external team has been bolstered by the arrival of Victoria Woods in the position of Regional Sales Manager for Scotland.

Victoria is said to add to the already considerable bank of experience within VBH’s Scottish team, having spent 14 years in the industry, including four years in her previous position with another hardware company.

Based near Glasgow, VBH says Victoria is ideally positioned to visit its customers throughout the country.

Allan Price, VBH General Manager for Scotland and Northern Ireland, said: “Scotland has always been a very important area for VBH, with some of our largest customers being north of the border. The recruitment of Victoria has allowed us to increase our market share even further, and I’m delighted to have her on my team.”

Moving further south, Anne Lees has joined VBH in the new position of Internal Sales Coordinator for the Midlands region. Ann joins the existing Internal Sales team to complete full office-based outbound sales coverage across the whole of England and Wales.

Like Victoria in Scotland, Ann is hugely experienced, having spent 15 years in a similar role at another major hardware company. VBH said that her friendly disposition and excellent product knowledge have been extremely well received by her new customers.

Adrian Gale, National Sales Manager for England and Wales, said: “Ann brings a wealth of knowledge and experience into the role, and we are really happy that she has joined VBH at this exciting time. She is a great asset to the Sales Team.”

VBH advise that further additions to the sales team will be announced soon.
