Office Friendly Announce Leadership Appointment
The group, who have an active community of members and suppliers, have a strong business development focus and play a pivotal role in facilitating the progression of their aligned organisations. At the Office Friendly conference back in October the group unveiled their refreshed identity and vision and were clear that this underpinned the next phase of the Group’s development, which is focused on further growth, investment and diversification supporting the innovative member and supplier community.
Jeanette Bresitz, Managing Director said, “It is my pleasure to announce that we have appointed Alex Stone to the role of Sales Director with effect from January 2023. This is recognition of Alex’s entrepreneurial approach, his wholehearted dedication to our community and the passion he shows when investing time and energy into people and their business plans. This was a decision that was easy for the Board and I to make. He has built such incredible knowledge and understanding of our industry, our member businesses and has developed into one of the rising stars of our industry.”
Alex, who has been an Office Friendly ambassador since 2014, and is currently co-chair of the BOSS Leaders of the Future committee, will lead Office Friendly’s Business Development efforts and look to strengthen the group’s current service offerings in their Weaver Sustainability Certification, Pioneer Learning & Development Programme and Kascaid Marketing Services. He will also take a seat on the Office Friendly board where his input and ideas will contribute to the group’s future plans and initiatives.
Stone commented, “‘I’m thrilled and excited to have been appointed as the Sales Director at Office Friendly, and thankful for all the opportunities the business has provided me during the almost 10 years since I joined Office Friendly as a Marketing Apprentice. I’m grateful to Jeanette, Gordon and the whole board for putting their trust in me and excited to double down my efforts on supporting our membership community and wider stakeholders on proactively capturing all the opportunities that 2023 will bring them.’
With such a dynamic member community Office Friendly will also invest in an additional Business Development head based in the South, concentrating on giving even more contact and interaction time with the group’s member businesses.
