Simon Marshall to spearhead drive for new business in the hi-vis and workwear market

COSALT have appointed Simon Marshall as business development director to spearhead their drive for new business in the hi-vis clothing and workwear market.

In his new role, Mr Marshall will focus on expanding the company’s presence in the construction, utility, transport and renewables industries throughout the UK and Ireland.

Before joining Cosalt, Mr Marshall was a national account manager for Buck & Hickman, one of the UK’s leading distributors of tools, maintenance and health and safety products. Prior to that he worked for safety equipment distributors Arco, supplying mainly hi-vis clothing to the construction industry.

With more than 10 years’ experience in the business as well as a comprehensive technical understanding of how personal protective equipment (PPE) is designed and manufactured, his appointment is expected to provide a major boost to Cosalt’s sales team as the company gears up for growth following a number of significant contract wins in 2010.

‘My priority will be to focus on the company’s excellent workwear and hi-vis ranges and raise our profile in previously untapped markets,’ said Mr Marshall.
