Additionally, Elaine Brown has been appointed to the role of general manager for EU manufacturing. Brown, who joined the company in 1999, assumed the role of customer service manager in 2001, where she was tasked with graining customer service personnel across divisions. Within the organization, she has also served as operations manager for EU manufacturing (during which she was responsible for day-to-day operations of the manufacturing site) and, most recently, acting general manager.
“Making senior new appointments is always an exciting time in the life of a company,” said COO Nick Pickthall. “When those appointments are internal, it gives us particular pleasure. We are proud of our ability to pick and keep great people. Elaine and Seth are great examples of how we ‘home-grow' our senior personnel.”
