Dog Rocks Distribution has appointed Chloe Hill-Thomas as business development manager.
Ms Hill-Thomas will work with key accounts both in the UK and Europe to coordinate their promotions and implement objectives, with her first sales-focused project being to secure garden centre distributors and wholesalers.

A qualified accountant, Ms Hill-Thomas spent the first few years of her career in practice auditing, later moving into industry. She comes to Dog Rocks from Premier Foods where she was a commercial finance analyst, later working within the commercial team as a national account executive.

Dog Rocks md Carina Evans said: "We are delighted to have Chloe on board and are looking forward to unlocking potential within the company and crucially working more closely with our key accounts."

Ms Hill-Thomas will be making herself known to new and existing clients over the coming months, and will be at forthcoming trade fairs including BBC Gardeners World, The World Dog Show and Glee Petindex.
