Hillier, the UK’s largest grower of semi-mature trees in the UK, is pleased to announce the appointment of two new account managers, Ben Kyte and Gavin Bell, to support its Amenity division.
With a passion for horticulture and sales, Ben has over 14 years of experience in the industry. Meanwhile, Gavin, who joins Hillier from Crowders, has worked in horticulture for more than 20 years, much of which time was spent working for his family run nursery.
Discussing his new role, Ben expressed: “Having the opportunity to utilise my experience at Hillier provides a great sense of achievement. A company with such heritage, that is constantly striving to produce the very best quality trees for future generations, is fantastic to be part of. I look forward to contributing to the strong and dedicated team, to really put Hillier at the forefront of customers’ minds as a tree supplier.”
“I have known Hillier for its values and for being the largest tree nursery in the UK, and I wanted to be part of that team. I'm ambitious to get more UK-grown trees out to the Amenity market and push the company name further out there,” said Gavin.
Gareth Ashenhurst, Amenity Sales Manager at Hillier, commented: “All at Hillier are thrilled to have Ben and Gavin join our already strong Amenity team, we are confident that the skills and expertise they will bring will make significant impact on our continued success.
“Their professional and extensive industry background aligns perfectly with Hillier’s goals and values, and their arrival comes at an exciting time for the company as we continue to grow and expand within the UK market. I am personally very proud of the team we are building and look forward to the next chapter of Hillier Amenity.”
Hillier looks forward to leveraging the extensive experience of Ben and Gavin to further strengthen its position as the expert growers of British Trees. They join at an exciting time of growth following Hillier’s £4 million purchase of a 200-acre farm in Liss, Hampshire.
