OLIVER WRIGHT
RETAIL SALES DIRECTOR
Oliver, Retail Sales Director, joined Marketforce in June 2006 from Kimberly-Clark where he held a number of retailer facing roles.
After graduating from Lancaster University in 1991 Oliver started his working life as a sales representative on the south coast for Grand Met Foods, where he then went on to roles in national account management and trade marketing. 1996 saw him make a move to Allied Domecq, a global spirits and wine business, with brands such as Beefeater Gin, Tia Maria and Montana Wines. Oliver then moved to Kimberly-Clark in 2001, where he gained valuable experience working with the major retailers across Europe, both as head of European Category Management and latterly as Customer Management Development director for Europe.
Oliver comments: "The Marketforce retail sales and category management teams have a well deserved reputation for providing great service to publisher clients and building profitable partnerships with our retail partners. Our goal is to be the best in the industry by leveraging our understanding of the magazine category, the retailers and their shoppers to drive magazine sales. Ultimately it's about getting the basics right, building excellent relationships, and implementing innovative solutions in store that deliver sales growth for Marketforce and the retailer".
