We are delighted to announce the appointment of Jon Falkingham who has joined Jo Bird in the role of sales coordinator.
Jon previously worked for Santander bank where he helped customers navigate the bank’s products, help open accounts and refer to financial advisors. This followed a period working in Bike shops including customised para-cycling sports equipment. So, plenty of experience then in customer service and so ideal to take on the sales support role for the increasingly stretched Jo Bird team.
Being from outside the energy and marine sectors he brings a fresh perspective while he rapidly learns about the vast Jo Bird product range and the markets they are sold into. He has also had a go at making a cabinet himself. Not as easy as it looks!
Jon decided to join an SME like Jo Bird “where I can feel an influential/significant part of a team and particularly proud to be able to directly support manufacturing of an in-demand product”.
While Jon will be busy at work it’s no different at home it seems. When he’s not cycling, running or cooking, he’s looking after his menagerie of animals consisting of a Romanian rescue dog, Californian Kingsnake and 10 fish.
It is a pleasure to see the company expanding once more as the offshore energy and maritime sectors recover from a difficult few years. We hope to announce more appointments soon as the production team grows to meet demand.
