Becs brings a proven track record in marketing across the merchant industry

Rebecca Hughes has been appointed Sales and Marketing Manager. Known to everyone as Becs, she has a wealth of experience, with a proven track record in marketing across different sectors of the merchant industry – including landscaping and roofing.

Becs, a recent recipient of the prestigious merchant industry Personality of the Year award, will head up the marketing team. A well-known and well-liked figure, she will also play a strategic role in the company’s account management, supporting existing merchant customers and also developing new ones.

“Tembé has a strong reputation both as a customer-focused supplier to building and decorating merchants and also for the quality of its products: most notably under its Hippo and Filltite brands,” said Becs. “So the decision to join the company and be part of the leadership was an easy one.”

“Building strong relationships with customers has been a common thread running through my marketing career and I’m looking forward to seizing the opportunity at Tembé and making a positive difference to the growth of the business.

One of the things that has struck me is how the owner, Guy Malam, and the leadership team have fostered a real sense of being a family-run business which genuinely cares about its staff and customers.

It’s also very clear that the company has lots of potential for growth – not just driving sales of existing SKUs, but also there are lots of new products in the pipeline which will create more comprehensive category ranges.”

Managing Director, Dell Fitzgerald said:

“Becs is a talented marketeer in her own right but is a rare breed with a wealth of experience in relationship management in the merchant industry too”

he went on to say “She will be a real asset to our business and we are excited about what the future holds with her as part of our leadership team.”
