Stoneglow has strengthened its senior management team with the appointment of Gillian Blair as the company’s new head of sales. Gillian has been involved in FMCG retail, manufacturing and sales for over 25 years, and involved in the gift trade for over a decade, working with highly reputable businesses and brands in the home fragrance sector. Most recently, she was responsible for heading the EMEA sales team at Enesco.
She says that her core belief has always been “affordable luxury”, with the quality of the goods she has sold to the trade her priority throughout her career. Over the years, sustainability and country of manufacture have become equally as important to her, as well as to her customers.
Stoneglow, whose manufacturing facility is based in Romford, Essex, says that Gillian will be “a great ambassador for the brand” with the company passionate about supplying exceptional quality home fragrance and bath and body products, while continuing to invest in sustainability.
When Gillian’s not working, she is a self-confessed shopaholic as well as taxi driver, cook and cleaner for her teenage son. She also loves to travel, as well as to entertain friends and family at home. She has also started to take golf lessons and has recently signed up for an open water swimming course.
Stoneglow say they are excited for the new venture and believe “the pairing has a brilliant future ahead.”
