Multi temperature supply chain and logistics specialist, Oakland International, has appointed Gill Hiatt to the position of Sales and New Business Development Manager, as the firm builds their successful business service offer both in the UK and across Ireland.

With a track record of sales in distribution services, both to the UK and Irish markets, Gill brings a wealth of experience to her new role.

Said Gill: "I feel privileged to be given this opportunity to help grow with the business, and to be involved in helping Oakland deliver our vision for the future."

Working for Midlands firm Oakland for the last three years, Gill has a keen understanding of Oakland's ethos of customer relations as key in Oakland's agenda, and will take responsibility for a number of sales activities including assisting with the development of new business initiatives for chilled, frozen and ambient picking, packing and supply chain, whilst driving growth of retailer consolidation schemes designed to provide cost effective fixed case price delivery solutions into all of the major UK and Ireland's large retail and convenience sector.

Oakland's MD, Dean Attwell, commented: "Oakland is currently taking a number of steps to strengthen our sales offer and business team to support both our Irish and UK wholesale and retail market activities. I wish to congratulate Gill on her new appointment and wish her much success for the future."
