Firm adds to its team

A TYTHERINGTON firm has expanded by making four new appointments.

Plastic card manufacturer Plastic Card Services (PCS), based on Redwood Court, on Tytherington Business Park has made the appointments in its sales and account handling division.

John Willocks, an experienced print industry professional who previously worked at printers Heaton Press, joins PCS’s five-strong account management team. In his new role, he will support the growing number of client accounts.

Matt Bellfield, a former property inspector, also joins as an account manager.

Strengthening the company’s sales team, recent business graduate Emily Donohoe has been recruited as a sales executive. She will work with Kimberley Wadsworth, who has been promoted to sales executive from within the company following a successful two years in account management. Both will undergo sales training and play a key role in PCS’s new business drive.

Rob Nicholls, managing director of PCS, said: “As a company, we pride ourselves on the long-standing relationships we’ve built with both clients and employees. Our people are central to our business and, in light of recent contract wins and our continued growth plans, we’ve recruited new talent from the local area. We’re committed to developing our team and ensuring they have the right training and support to excel in their roles. We look forward to working with our new recruits and welcoming them into the fold.” The company - which produces more than 50 million plastic cards each year for FTSE 100 companies and household names such as Next and Virgin - also plans to promote further growth through a series of investments in its team.
