Good Luck Gina Wilden

Our Commercial Manager, Gina, is leaving the company at the end of April 2021.

Gina has worked for the business for almost 31 years. Covering most office jobs over that time including shop assistant and various office roles until she found what she loved doing – spending other people’s money! Her commercial manager role developed as she grew into it, making it very much her own. It is with a huge debt of gratitude that I say farewell to her (and her dog Bud). We wish her the very best as she adapts to life away from the Mill.

In terms of looking towards the future, I am delighted to have appointed a new commercial manager, Evonne De Gouveia. Evonne has a strong retail/wholesale experience from which we will benefit. Evonne has already started and has an assistant working with her. Additionally, Darrel Strachan, who is one of my two Regional GP&CS Branch Managers, is assisting the commercial team in this interim period.

The wider Commercial Team includes Mark Wootton our Interim Commercial Director. As a team they are looking at ways of driving our business forward to ensure we continue the success of last year.
