Our plans are intended to bring new levels of focus on our existing customers and to also support our drive for growth. I am confident that Andy and Rick will make a huge contribution to our business in the near future.”
Andy said: “I am delighted to be joining the team at Hill at such a challenging but exciting time for the industry as we aid the further evolution of the business in the aftermath of Covid.”
Rick added: “I am pleased to be able to bring over 30 years’ capital sales and sales management experience, both at a strategic and operational level within large, blue-chip UK, European, Asian and US companies, to Hill’s global customer portfolio.”
