Denby Group has appointed Jo Derbyshire into the newly created role of sales manager for hospitality & corporate gifting covering Denby, Burleigh and Poole Pottery.
Jo brings with her over 25 years of experience in the sector working with both Steelite and Churchill and more recently as head of sales for William Edwards. Jo will work alongside the Denby Group’s other sales channels to build on the team’s excellent work in developing critical relationships with hospitality customers, distributors and end users both in the UK and internationally. In this new role, Jo will report directly to Jane Mason, managing director of Denby Pottery UK & Ireland and working very closely with Jim Norman, managing director of Burgess & Leigh (Burleigh & Poole Pottery).
Jo says: “I feel very fortunate to be working with such treasured UK brands, which still produce their unique ceramics in the UK. Denby, Burleigh and Poole Pottery have great provenance and stories to tell – Denby with its sustainably made, beautiful and durable ceramics which are inherently suitable for hospitality and Burleigh, being an icon of British design, with its many prestigious hospitality customers. I look forward to being part of these great British brands”.
