Nicola Beet has been appointed Category Manager for Pet Care at Gardman.

Nicola takes up this new role following the Pet Care category launch in June last year.

Previously Commercial Manager at Selwood Products, manufacturer and distributor of garden play and leisure equipment, Nicola looks forward to taking Gardman’sPet Care range on to the next phase.  

“My plan is to extend the range significantly so that we have a complete category to suit the needs of all our retail customers,” she says.

Lisa Blackmore, Head of Category Management, commented on the new appointment: “The launch of Gardman Pet Care has gone well and to make most of the opportunity we need a dedicated category manager whose responsibility will be to extend the category across a wider range of sub categories to meet the retail needs of all pet care stockists, whatever their size.”

Gardman has a new standalone pet care website www.gardmanpetcare.co.uk
