Denny Bros targets Europe with appointment

Denny Bros is seeking to develop its presence in European markets with the recruitment of experienced, multi-lingual international sales executive Anne Klermund.

Anne Klermund possesses outstanding language skills in English, French, German and Chinese

Klermund, who was born in Paris and studied in France until the age of 20, completed her studies in Taipei and worked for a further 10 years in Southeast Asia before returning to Europe. She brings with her extensive commercial sales experience in two global companies combined with outstanding language skills in English, French, German and Chinese.

Before joining Denny Bros, Klermund was involved in promotional and marketing activities for l’Oréal in Asia. Her international career also led her to take up a post with Wella, a haircare products company, in Singapore. After her work with foreign brands across Asian markets, Klermund went on to spend time in the US, the UK and Austria before returning to the UK.

With a proven track record in sales development, Klermund is extremely keen to help Denny Bros bring its European sales division to the fore, and hopes to generate new business leads using her language skills and to quickly become versed in the competitive nature of the French printing industries.

‘I have every confidence that there is a lot of scope for a leading British print company, such as Denny Bros, to gain a significant market share in Europe,’ commented Klermund. ‘My aim is to bring in as many sales leads as possible across France as there are currently not many companies with the capabilities and products to rival Denny Bros’ Fix-a-Form.’

Denny Bros sales and marketing director Stephen Jarrold added: ‘As we already have a strong customer base in the UK, we hope Anne will help us win more customers in France. The weak pound means the price of our multi-page labels is coming down for our export customers and so now is the perfect time to try to strengthen our market position in Europe.

‘We are thrilled to have a multi-lingual sales executive on-board who can confidently support our sales objectives and show export customers why we have such a long-standing reputation for consistently delivering the best customer service, the highest quality product and for meeting the needs of our customers.’
