Chemical manufacturer and distributor, Airedale Group, has doubled the strength of its sales team with a raft of new sales managers from across the industry.

Five recent appointments and the promotion of a new sales director, brings more than 120 years of experience, reflecting the business’ confidence in the future and its growing customer portfolio.

Marc Helliwell, sales director at Airedale Group, explains: “We have seen our customer base grow consistently over the last couple of years and this has been reflected in the expansion of the sales team.

“Having moved into the role of sales director from the position of head of sales, I am confident we have the team in place that will help deliver our bold growth strategy.

“We have hand-picked some of the industry’s most experienced players as well as emerging talent that we believe will give us the strength and skill to take the business into the next exciting chapter of Airedale Group’s evolution, as each of the team members bring their own specific skill set to the department.”

David Wright has worked for many of the biggest names in the chemical industry during his career and was drawn to Airedale Group as an independent family-owned business with an “excellent infrastructure”.

Andy Armstrong has 40 years of sales experience and John Durrant has spent 45 years in the chemical industry and was attracted to the business’ ambitious growth plans and its ability to quickly turnaround business decisions.

Helen Farrar and Tom Windsor complete the line up of new faces with Tom having moved into the sales department from elsewhere in the company and Helen joining from Lake Chemicals ingredients business as a specialist advisor to Airedale Group’s food and beverage division.

Airedale Group, founded in 1973, is based in Cross Hills and provides chemicals and related services to the UK and Europe.
