Global wholesaler and distributor Pricecheck has made a trio of key appointments as it continues to grow and diversify.

Jane Whitham, a former director of Leeds-based PR agency Cream Consultancy, joins Pricecheck as Head of Marketing, as the international distributor aims for a turnover of £200m by 2025. Jane will oversee the company’s UK and international marketing as it continues to develop partnerships with brand leaders and enters new territories and channels.

Helen Coulthard, a Project Manager, joins from Bestway Wholesale having previously spent eight years in a variety of operational roles at wholesale giant Palmer and Harvey. Helen will lead a range of key projects at the Sheffield-based business which support whole-business growth and scalability.

Sales Support Manager Jessica Ellis brings several years’ sales management experience, leaving Virgin Media Business to take up her newly created role. Jessica will be a key manager in driving growth in a 30-strong direct sales force.

Pricecheck, an international distributor of fast-moving consumer goods, is trusted by the world’s biggest brands, offering more than 4,500 branded products to customers in the UK and worldwide.

The fast-growing business is based near Junction 31 of the M1 and exports to more than 80 countries. Turnover this year is in excess of £80m with exports accounting for more than £45m.

The company is planning significant further growth and is seeking to grow both its domestic and export business.

Pricecheck’s Joint Managing Director Debbie Harrison said: “We are investing in the very best people to help drive Pricecheck forward. We are a very people-focused business and have ambitious plans to continue our growth journey.

“Coupled with our continual investment in technology and a bespoke, tailored service for customers and brand owners alike, we are committed to ensuring our partners and customers get the absolute best service.
