Cornwall-based sustainable merchandise manufacturer adds experienced sales leadership to support growth in eco-conscious promotional products sector.
CHX Products, a leading manufacturer of recycled and biodegradable promotional merchandise, has announced the appointment of two new sales managers to its growing team. Jake Field joins as Senior Sales Manager, whilst Cara Hearn takes on the role of Sales Manager, both bringing fresh perspectives to the company’s mission of transforming the promotional merchandise industry through sustainable manufacturing.
The appointments come at a pivotal time for CHX Products, which has recently achieved recognition with five products shortlisted across three categories in the BPMA Product Awards 2025. The company’s Ocean Positive range, manufactured from marine recovered plastic, has garnered particular attention from distributors seeking genuinely sustainable alternatives for their customers.
Jake Field, who transitions to CHX from the branded workwear sector, brings valuable cross-industry experience. “What attracted me to CHX was the story,” Jake explains. “This is a small, family business with UK manufacturing and recycling credentials – they’ve got a real mission. Rather than trying to sell a product, we’re selling a story.”
Jake has been particularly impressed by the tangible environmental impact of CHX’s operations. “The most exciting thing is the environmental change we can make – taking marine recovered plastic and repurposing it into our products. We could genuinely see the impact of a weekend beach clean transformed into branded merchandise.”
Cara Hearn, who is new to the promotional merchandise industry, experienced a baptism of fire with three days of tabletop events in her first week. “The industry is very fast-paced,” Cara observes. “What I love most is the diverse questions we receive – from trolley coins to very specific bespoke requests like llama feeding accessories. It’s these weird and wonderful orders where we can be creative and really show off what we can do.”
Both appointments underscore CHX Products’ commitment to customer service excellence within its B2B model, where the company manufactures to order for distributors who then supply to customers. “We provide sustainable, recycled products – that ticks a lot of boxes,” notes Jake. “But the main thing is we’re here for fast-paced solutions. Bespoke orders are becoming more normal, and we’re able to cater to those needs in a timely manner.”
The expanded sales team will support CHX Products’ growing network of distributor customers across the UK who value our manufacturing expertise and quality sustainable, always recycled, promotional merchandise.
CHX Products operates from its solar-powered facility in Cornwall, where it maintains full control over the manufacturing process from recycled material processing through to final product delivery. The company’s UK-based production enables rapid turnaround times and quality assurance that differentiates it within the promotional merchandise sector.
