Kern has appointed David Cox to the newly created role of UK head of sales. The mailing and packaging equipment specialist said the role had been created to strengthen its position in the UK market and to capitalise on recent product additions.
Mr Cox, who was previously northern district sales manager at Neopost UK, will report to Uli Kern, president and managing director of the Kern Group. He will be responsible for driving sales of the company’s high-speed mailing, smart locker and packaging solutions and will work alongside a dedicated team at Kern’s Switzerland headquarters, focused on driving worldwide expansion.
‘David’s appointment marks another milestone in the growth of the UK business and demonstrates our optimism in the UK market, despite the current Coronavirus crisis,’ said Mr Kern. ‘Mail remains a critical sector, helping keep nations informed during these unprecedented times, while packaging is critical for food, beverage and pharmaceutical markets. David’s wealth of commercial experience will be invaluable in working with partners and customers.’
Mr Cox himself added, ‘Mail is experiencing growth in many areas as businesses drive consumers online, while the UK boom in parcel delivery continues. Kern is renowned for its spirit of innovation, which helps customers respond to industry challenges and remain competitive. I look forward to taking advantage of our latest solutions and helping drive the next phase of the company’s growth.’
