As part of its continuing enhanced focus on sales, sales support and customer service, GTG has restructured its North American and European sales and operations activities.

Sales

All Sales activities are now coordinated centrally under the leadership of Mark Wilson, Commercial Director, with the exception of the European sugar beet business sector, which remains separate from this re-organisation.

Mark Wilson’s Sales Management team comprises:
o         Frederick Schreurs - European Sales Manager
o         Peter Marks – North American Technology and Materials Sales Manager
o         Kevin Bigger – North American Sugar Beet and Field Crops Sales Manager

A recruitment exercise is now underway for the vacant position of the North American Horticultural Sales Manager.

A team of nine Regional Managers in Europe and North America operates under the direction of Sales Management team.

Frederick Schreurs and Peter Marks also have responsibilities within the Commercial Development Team, led by Mark Wilson, for other global markets.

The sugar beet segment of GTG’s business in Europe remains coordinated under the leadership of Paul Ayres, CEO. Sales and Marketing Management is provided by Véronique Heyes in the EU15, and Stan Dziedzic in Central and Eastern Europe.

GTG operations are now totally focussed on providing the highest quality products and services to support the sales teams and their customers.

o         Paul Richardson for the UK
o         Stan Dziedzic for Poland
o         Michèl Kockelkoren for the Dutch and Spanish operations
