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.

“These are transformational times for Pricecheck and ensuring we’ve got the best people is absolutely critical to our continued success.

“It’s a pleasure to welcome Jane, Helen and Jessica to the Pricecheck team.”
