Hoover appoints James Dunn as account director

Domestic appliance manufacturer Hoover has strengthened its freestanding sales team by appointing James Dunn as account director.

James brings more than 11 years of industry experience to the role, having spent the last eight years on the sales team at GDHA where he worked on various accounts looking after retailers such as Argos and Shop Direct and most recently, Dixons.

James said: “I’m excited for a new challenge within the major domestic appliances market. I’m particularly looking forward to joining an established and experienced team that I can learn from. Hoover is a great brand that is easily recognisable and a business that is working well both internally and externally.

“To be joining a company that has gained huge market share in recent years is really exciting. My new role will see me leverage a product set that is fast moving but also introducing a raft of market-leading innovative products.”

Steve Macdonald, marketing director of Hoover’s freestanding division, added: “It’s a pleasure to welcome James to the team. His industry experience, coupled with his knowledge of sales, will be a key asset in continuing our growth.

“James’s familiarity with the Dixons brand and their product offering should prove vital in ensuring strong relationships are maintained as we continue to provide innovative, technologically advanced products to our customers.”
