Reunited as firm keeps expanding
SNIFFERS PET Care has taken on a new business support manager as the Elland-based company continues on its impressive growth trajectory.
Emma Le Gros Clark joins the pet treat business’s expanding team from Lloyds Banking Group, where she worked for a time alongside Sniffers’ director Simon Brown. Emma left a 22-year career in the financial services industry to join Sniffers, where her primary focus will be managing goods in and liaising with international suppliers.
Emma is one of three appointments being made as a result of recent expansion. The business relocated to larger, 22,500 sq ft premises in Elland last month from its previous base in Huddersfield – the second growthdriven move in two and a half years. The move takes the overall headcount to 12.
Emma, who spent the past nine years at Lloyds focusing on employee engagement and communications, said she was delighted to be working alongside Simon and the team at Sniffers.
“Having worked with a corporate giant for so long it’s exciting to move to Sniffers, a growing business with some incredible opportunities. I originally moved to Yorkshire in 2004 – it was only supposed to be for three months! – then married a local chap and we have a son, who is three. It’s a really vibrant area that’s home to some really innovative businesses like Sniffers, that have enormous potential.”
Simon added: “Bringing in a business support manager of Emma’s calibre is a natural step for the business, enabling us to continue to expand and to offer an enhanced service to our customers throughout the pet trade.”
