Quality disposables manufacturer and supplier, Herald has strengthened its commitment to the Scottish market with the appointment of a dedicated sales manager, who will be focused on all areas north of the border.
Scott Forbes has joined Herald as the new sales manager for Scotland. Based in Glasgow, with 35 years of experience in the packaging industry, Scott is expected to grow Herald’s business in Scotland, strengthening existing relationships and seeking out new opportunities.
Having worked across all departments in disposable packaging, from the warehouse to delivery, management and sales, Scott has a keen knowledge of the market and an understanding of what customers want from their suppliers and the service offering they expect.
“Scottish customers want decent products for a decent price and that’s what Herald delivers on. As long as we are delivering quality goods and the pricing is fair, I believe there’s the potential for Herald to do great business here,” said Scott Forbes.
News of Scott’s appointment follows on from the announcement that Herald has opened a second office in Newcastle, providing its northern staff with an accessible base to work from, while adding to the company’s storage facilities for its expanding product range. The company has been creeping further North for some time, having built a successful business in the South, and is now keen to win over the Scottish market and build a strong profile in Scotland.
Herald’s national sales manager, David Martin is pleased to welcome Scott to the team to be the face of the company in Scotland, adding: “We are more than ready to take on the Scottish market and are confident that, with Scott on board, we can make good contacts and build our market share.
“We’re focused on driving further growth by providing options that will allow customers to keep costs down, offering a full range of goods to choose from at differing price points. We’re in constant talks with suppliers to review and expand our product selection and we hope to make a strong impression north of the border, with competitive pricing and a strong product range.”
