Movers & Shakers at Green Sheep Group
Fast growing nursery brand, Green Sheep Group (GSG), is delighted to announce three new appointments, as the business welcomes Carey Devine as Head of Sales, Josh Bishop as Head of International Sales and Jamie Jillard as the new Head of Marketing. Following the recent announcement that industry heavyweight, Mitch Levene, has also joined the GSG team, it’s set to be a truly significant year for the business.
Bringing more than 35 years experience between them, the strategic appointments not only reflect the brand’s continued trade and consumer success, but also its ambitious plans for growth in 2023 and beyond.
As the new Head of Marketing, Jamie will be focussed on developing the GSG brands to build a stronger connection with both The Little Green Sheep and Snüz customers. Her new role will see Jamie elevate the Snüz brand as a thought leader and expert in the world of sleep, while also harnessing and developing the natural pathway for The Little Green Sheep.
Speaking about her new role, Jamie said: “Drawing on my experience as a marketeer and a new mum, I hope to inject creativity into the role in order to achieve my key objectives, to nurture brands that our customers feel proud to buy from and our employees, suppliers, retailers and partners are proud to work with.”
Thanks to her 15+ years working with UK High Street retailers, Carey will hit the ground running as the new Head of Sales. The role will see her lead the UK sales team to grow both Snüz and LGS brands within both the UK high street and independent sectors, with clear objectives to build a customer focused sales team to support at all levels in the industry.
“I look forward to bringing a fresh and creative outlook on our approach to help grow the UK business and become best in class at what we do and who we are,’ said Carey. ‘Bringing our customers on our journey of growth, is important to me.’
Continuing the brand’s exciting international developments, Josh has been appointed to develop new markets and strategic global partnerships. As the new Head of International Sales, he will be drawing on more than 8 years export management experience and knowledge in growing scale in order to to expand GSG’s global footprint.
Working across both of GSG’s iconic brands, Snüz and The Little Green Sheep, Josh has a clear objective to strategically bring new products to market and grow international presence.
Speaking about the developments Roger Allen at GSG said:“Here at GSG we believe that building a team with the right culture and great people is paramount. These recent appointments, alongside Mitch just a few weeks ago, reflect our commitment to finding the best people and recruiting true talent. Jamie, Carey and Josh each demonstrated knowledge in their areas, as well as determination and a passion for our brand; we are confident between them they will deliver and support GSG’s assertive plans for growth.
