“Strong sales growth of over 9% in the 2016 fiscal year has resulted in the need to create an additional role for a business development manager to work together with our existing product specialists in supporting our growing customer base,” stated Charcroft director, Debbie Rowland. “The appointment of Rob Weemes means that customers in the South East and East Anglia will continue to receive the high levels of support and service which are crucial for customers operating in harsh or high-end applications.”
Weemes has spent over 20 years working for global or pan-European broad-line distributors before deciding to move to the independent, UK-focused Charcroft.
Commented Weemes: “I have known Charcroft for many years as a competitor, but also as a trusted and knowledgeable Supply Partner in the distribution channel. The people and systems within Charcroft will enable me to provide customers with fast and accurate information to help them to achieve a more streamlined procurement process.”
Weemes’ areas of special interest include helping customers to manage issues, such as allocation or extended lead-times as well as ITAR controls and traceability. With significant experience in the Space and defence markets, Weemes focusses on helping customers to find improvements which enhance the day-to-day procurement process.
