Abstract
With more than two decades at the forefront of the retail and foodservice equipment sector Gary Thacker has been promoted to sales director at Fri-Jado UK.

Having joined the company 11 years ago he has used his experience, knowledge and foresight to help drive growth. Recently he has spearheaded Fri-Jado’s partnerships with several of the leading national supermarkets, combining the rapid growth in the food-to-go sector with his unique understanding of business requirements.

He commented: “I’m delighted to be offered the opportunity to lead the sales function of this great company and prestigious brand in the UK. Although Fri-Jado is a truly international business, it’s got a real family-feel and that small business flexibility. This allows us to work closely with operators, really understanding their needs and what they expect from us as a supplier. Over the years, this has enabled us to adapt to the different situations and challenges we face.

“Going forward I have a great deal of motivation from being able to support our customers with exciting new innovations and technological advances that our business has been investing in. Stepping into my new role will enable me and the wider UK team to implement strong strategic plans, focusing on longer term growth for the Fri-Jado business.”
