An engineering company has strengthened its sales team to achieve its aim of becoming market leaders in the area.
Forth, based in Flimby, near Maryport, has appointed a new commercial manager and a sales field representative to develop its trade counter, which supplies tools, services and equipment to workers across all industries as well as to the public.
Scott Mattinson joins as commercial manager after honing his skills in the motors industry and within the advertising department at media brands Cumbrian Newspapers and Newsquest Cumbria, while new sales field representative Richard Gilmour brings with him 20 years of sales experience in the motor trade.
Scott said: “Forth is a very forward-thinking and ambitious company which wants to expand its commercial and sales team, and it is a perfect fit for me as I too have clear ambitions.
“Everybody at Forth pulls in the same direction and everybody works to the maximum of their abilities. We intend to make the trade counter and the company as a whole the best in the area.”
Richard said: “I am out on the road a lot working with new customers and also existing customers of Forth, checking to make sure they get the service they deserve. I have many contacts I have developed over the years, and it’s good to reconnect and also to get out and speak to new potential clients.
“There are no limits to where we can take the company and the Trade Counter in particular, and we are intending to provide a broader scope and greater variety of products to our clients.
“When I came for the interview at Forth, the place blew my mind and it is amazing to see the unbelievable work they carry out here every day. I am glad to be part of such a fantastic team.”
The company also has bases in Barrow and Cleator Moor.
