VOW appoints newly-created Furniture Business Development Manager - Channel info News

VOW has appointed Jenny Hipkiss to the newly-created role of Furniture Business Development Manager for the south of England, as the wholesaler expands its furniture range.

Jenny has been recruited just as the new Talos range of steel products have become available within VOW’s First range of office furniture. Jenny, who has over 10 years’ industry experience, has joined VOW from business furniture manufacturer, Senator. She previously worked for office furniture manufacturer, Lee & Plumpton, ergonomic furniture and equipment specialist, Posturite, and office supplies and solutions distributor, Lyreco. 

In her new role, Jenny will work with resellers, assisting them to grow their furniture sales with VOW. She has joined the company’s furniture experts, who include northern Furniture Business Development Manager, Matt Allaby, plus internal sales, commercial support, product marketing, customer service and technical support specialists.

Jenny said, “I couldn’t see a better time to join VOW’s growing furniture team and I’m excited to now be part of it. Over the last 12 months, the company has invested heavily in this area and is clearly very serious about offering its resellers an unbeatable proposition. 

“This is backed up by the largest furniture stock holding in the wholesale market and an extremely reliable next day service, with a uniquely late 4.30pm cut-off time. First range, in particular, which provides an unequalled combination of quality and value, presents a massive opportunity for our resellers to increase their sales.” 

Vanessa Warne, VOW’s Furniture Category Director added, “Jenny’s history sets her apart as a candidate for this role. She brings excellent understanding of the reseller market and great experience of working with end-users, from design brief to installation. She’s delivered projects in excess of £100,000, most recently a seven-storey office block at Bristol Law School.

“She’s incredibly passionate and enthusiastic about interiors and her personality makes her a great fit with our business.”   

The new Talos range includes tambours, cupboards, pedestals and filing cabinets available in various colours and come with integral locking to ensure personal security and component warranties between five to seven years.
