Stewart joined the news trade industry in 1992, spending 3 years at a wholesaler before joining Marketforce in 1995. Having led the Marketing Services team for a number of years, Stewart was tasked with managing the implementation of Quartz in 2003 and building up a new area to support it going forward.
This covered a number of key areas including system support, system enhancements, training users, managing data flow in and out of the system plus reporting via Business Objects.
In April 2009, Stewart was appointed to the new role of Head of Supplyworks.
Supplyworks is a Marketforce initiative which involves integrating the wholesale allocation teams into the Blue Fin Building and enhancing both the Marketforce and Wholesale systems to improve compatibility. This will drive efficiency improvements and ensure a joined up approach to managing copy in the supply chain.
Stewart will oversee developments and also take on additional responsibility for the Marketforce wholesale team.
