FENTON Packaging Solutions has announced two new senior appointments. Scotland-based Mark Woods joins as business development manager, while Alex Breeze has been named internal sales & customer service manager.
“Ever since we relocated to Leeds and rebranded as Fenton Packaging Solutions three years ago, our emphasis has been on bringing more innovative, sustainable packaging solutions to the market,” said David Wilson, managing partner of sales. “We offer a consultative approach and, through innovation, help to steer our customers towards using the most sustainable packaging options for their businesses.
“The appointment of Mark Woods and Alex Breeze supports our growth plans as a consultative packaging solutions provider. Mark comes to us with over 20 years’ experience in packaging and foodservice. His solid and proven track record will help us accelerate the development of our fastest growing sector, food and foodservice packaging.
“Alex has a decade of experience in managing high-performing outbound sales teams and a strong background in people management and customer service. She will be bringing her skills to bear on delivering value, driving growth, and detailing improvements in how we connect with our clients to enhance the customer experience.”
Mark Woods has previously held roles at Tri-Star Packaging, Bunzl Catering Supplies, and PJ. He said, “I have a deep understanding of food and foodservice manufacturing as well as packaging, so I feel well-placed to deliver on a solutions-based consultative sales strategy for existing and new customers.”
Alex Breeze revealed she was drawn to Fenton by the family-oriented nature of the business. “They don’t just say that they’re ‘family first’, it’s the core culture of the business and people stay,” she added. “There are some that have been with the business for well over 30 years, and that speaks volumes. Being surrounded by all that experience will help me to rapidly develop my role. The biggest opportunity at Fenton is the sheer level of growth that’s available and I am looking forward to making a tangible contribution through enhancing the customer journey.”
