SPAR UK is delighted to announce the appointment of Adele Irlam and Anthony Sappor to the roles of National Account Managers within its Retail team.
Based in SPAR UK’s central office in Harrow and reporting to National Accounts Controller Martin Kell, Irlam and Sappor will support SPAR’s National Account customers by growing sales and profitability across a number of military, holiday parks, education and healthcare facilities, as well as traditional convenience store locations.
Irlam joins the team from Palmer and Harvey where she held a number of sales and recruitment roles supporting regional and multiple accounts. She was awarded the Symbol Business Manager of the Year accolade in 2012 and also an Outstanding Contribution to the Business award in 2011.
Sappor joins from Blakemore Retail. Prior to this he worked in retail operations and marketing, which provides extensive knowledge of how to develop sales within a multi-site operation.
Between them, they have in excess of 25 years experience of working in the convenience retail sector.
Ian Taylor, Head of Retail at SPAR UK, said: “We are hugely committed to store recruitment in 2013, and the appointment of Adele and Anthony will help strengthen our team so we are in the best possible position to keep our drive at full capacity.
“This is the start of a really exciting year for SPAR, as we look to build our store numbers with both new multiple store accounts and independent recruitment,” he said.
