With his considerable amount of industry knowledge, built up over almost 18 years, Russ has accepted the challenge to help drive sales forward with Mid Ocean Brands in the UK and Irish marketplace.

Mid Ocean Brands Regional Director Haydn Willetts commented “We see  the addition of Russ to our UK team as a key part of our plan to once again grow in the UK / Irish market. His knowledge, reputation and experience  will enable us to contact and visit many more customers helping to raise our profile, improve visibility for our products and services. There is a strong fit with both his background and personality and we are extremely pleased to have him on board. He has joined us at a key  stage in the development of the Company, the recently announced new ownership gives us considerable financial stability to allow us to     continue to offer one of the strongest product collections and second to none print service in Europe via our own print facility in Poland. As of the end of June we will be printing all pad, screen, transfer print and laser engraved orders up to 2000 pieces in approx. 24 hours from artwork approval and we will be able to deliver as swiftly as any UK based supplier.”

Russ said “I am definitely up for the challenge and from what I have seen so far in Holland and Poland we have a lot to shout about to the UK customer base. We are willing and very able to look after all of the UK customers again. The print facility in Poland is extremely impressive and the stock holding and range is vast. I am looking forward to working with customers old and new in my new role at Mid Ocean Brands so please do not hesitate to contact me if I don’t contact you first!”
