PaperCo takes on experienced double act
Wednesday 27. October 2010 - An experienced double act with a combined 70 years in the paper industry has come back together working for PaperCo. Robin Barnes is an outside account manager for Southern Paper covering a large swathe of Greater London, Surrey, Sussex and Kent while his long time business colleague Eric Tunbridge is an inside sales executive working for Dixon & Roe at its London office.
“It is really refreshing to belong to a company where everyone wants to see you improve and succeed and where you have the authority to make fast decisions, speeding things up for the customer,” says Mr Barnes. “I have 120 accounts in my portfolio and my customers have given me an enthusiastic reception.”
Mr Tunbridge relishes the day to day customer interaction, selling the broad portfolio of papers and the camaraderie of the staff at the companys Mandela Way operation, also the home of PaperCos head office.
Both men are sports players. Mr Tunbridge likes hockey, golf and tennis and Mr Barnes squash, racquet ball, tennis, cycling and swimming.
