The home of classic characters, Rainbow Designs, has appointed a new national accounts controller, and made an internal promotion to field sales team leader.
Rainbow Designs has welcomed Gary Hughes to the team as national accounts controller. Gary’s extensive experience in both the publishing and toy sectors, most recently managing the games category at Winning Moves across the high street and independents, will be a welcomed asset to the team.
Gary said: “I am thrilled to be joining the Rainbow family and feel like I’ve found a new home here. Managing the nursery category, in addition to the toy and gift sectors, will be new for me, but with such a beautiful range of products, I am convinced that the future holds great opportunities and I’m really excited about taking the Rainbow brands and expanding them even further with our partners.”
Mandy McGough, who has been with Rainbow Designs for five years and successfully developed the Northern sales territory, has been given a promotion to field sales team leader to help the team strive for, and deliver, Rainbow’s growth ambitions.
Sales and marketing director, Zara Grindrod commented: “Kicking off 2022 with Gary at the helm of our national accounts base is going to be a huge benefit for us, and I am very much looking forward to seeing what we can achieve this year.
“Mandy also absolutely deserves her promotion, she has worked really hard in the last few years and is a great ambassador for Rainbow, with great passion for our brands and products, and therefore the perfect candidate to head up the field sales team.”
