NEW RECRUIT SUPPORTS BUSINESS EXPANSION
» » LUCIE MILLER HAS BEEN
appointed by IG Doors to support further
growth in its range of Truedor composite
doors.
Lucie joins from a background in trade
frame sales and is the second Regional Sales
Manager for the company in the South East
alongside Andy Sunnucks who joined the
company in 2015.
Speaking about the appointment Richard
Kirman, Sales and Marketing Manager for
Truedor explained the thinking behind
making a second appointment in the region:
“What people call the South East is a huge
region and is too big for one person to manage
to its maximum potential given the amount of
business there is.
“Bringing Lucie on board has enabled us to
really start to explore the area’s full potential,
and alongside Andy, Lucie is doing just that.
She has really hit the ground running - her
previous experience of working in the window
and door industry, coupled to her sales skills
and personality are a real asset to our business
and we wish her a long and successful career
with IG Doors”.
Speaking about her appointment Lucie
commented: “I am undoubtedly joining
one of the industry leaders in the supply of
composite doors”.
