Hannah Shoesmith knows the garden industry well, joining Crest as Area Sales Manager from a well-known garden centre where she was an experienced buyer of garden sundries.

Crest Garden Sales Manager, Adrian Aitken, said:

“We are really pleased to welcome Hannah to the team. Her experience of the garden centre shop floor and buying office will be a huge benefit in her new role. With both our ‘Dig for Victory’ campaign and the launch of our Autumn promotions, Hannah has exciting times ahead.”
