Tony Raeburn, CEO of Pets Choice, comments: “Pets Choice is experiencing a fantastic period of growth thanks to the continued success of our broad product range. Our new recruits are joining at an exciting time for the company and we are confident that they will be great assets to the team.”
Head of operations Peter Birch has previously worked for high-profile brands such as Soreen and Greggs. He comments: “Pets Choice has ambitious and exciting growth plans for the future, which is something I’m incredibly excited to be a part of. I have a lot of experience in building businesses and developing production sites, so I’m excited to put this to good use in the coming months.”
As senior national account manager, Ben Windeatt will be responsible for managing the brand’s relationship with various key customers including, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Pets at Home, and brings more than 15 years industry experience to the role. He comments: “Pets Choice is a rapidly growing business, operating in a fast-paced industry, so I cannot wait to get stuck in. Healthier pet food products are becoming increasingly popular and as this is an area of expertise for Pets Choice, it’s a great time to be joining.”
Charlie Jenkins, who joins the company as brand manager, comes from confectionary brand Cloetta where she has worked for over two years. She adds: “I have always had a love for animals, having two dogs of my own, so I’m excited to be working within a sector that I am so passionate about. With consumers consistently spending more on their pets and the recent shift towards the humanisation of pet products, this industry is always innovating, and I’m excited to now be a part of that with the Pets Choice family.”
