Independent janitorial distribution network, Jangro, has bolstered its senior team with two new appointments.
Sue Gernon has been appointed General Sales Manager, and will head up the national accounts division, whilst Tim Corbett, who joined the team late last year, has been appointed as Business Development Manager. He is responsible for building relationships with new and existing customers.
Their addition says Jangro “strengthens” the company’s senior team, and will help the company to continue building on its “great customer offer”. As the UK and Ireland’s largest network of independent janitorial distributors, Jangro is able to offer its national account holders fantastic benefits.
Firstly, Jangro can reduce its customers’ costs. With 47 members in the network, it has superior buying power so can offer sustainable, high quality cleaning solutions at consistent, competitive prices. It can also help reduce customers’ overall spend, by rationalising products required and building a smaller, and more cost-effective range for sites. In addition, it combines national coverage with a local, fast and reliable delivery service, thanks to the strategic locations of its members.
National account holders can also stay in control of their spending across all of its sites thanks to Jangro’s budget management system. Consolidated invoicing and management reports can also be accessed via a state-of-the-art e-commerce ordering system, which can be integrated with big name ERP systems such as Sage, SAP and Merlin.
Jangro’s unique health and safety compliance solution, called Site Manager, is also available to national account customers. It contains hundreds of Safety Data Sheets, COSHH risk assessments and process risk assessment documents. Each time a new product is ordered online, the relevant compliance information will automatically be added to the customers’ bespoke Site Manager portal.
Joanne Gilliard, CEO of Jangro, commented: “We already offer a high quality package to our national account customers, including sustainability innovations as a core benefit and access to our award-winning training platform, the Learning Management Solution (LMS). We also provide one dedicated point of contact, so there’s never any doubt about who to speak to.
“However, we are committed to enhancing benefits and providing added value wherever possible. We’re thrilled to welcome Sue and Tim to the team and are confident that their collective energy and experience will play a key role in deepening relationships with our national account customers and strengthening our offer.”
