Matthew, who joins Hanson following nine years with Cambridgeshire Police, covers East Anglia, while Heron moves from asphalt s

Andrew Simpson said: “All of our sales team have undergone training in a new ‘sales as a science’ programme designed to add value to customers and the service they receive.
“Our three new pa
cked products DSMs will work closely with merchants to help them in areas such as product selection, pricing queries and promoting products online.
“The appointments are part of our continuing investment in our sales team and our commitment to delivering first-rate customer service that goes beyond that of a product supplier.”
