Care and protection products company Castelan has strengthened its sales team with two recruits from Guardsman.
Paul Jennings, former Guardsman head of sales and development UK and Europe, has joined as head of sales (North) and Richard Oloyede, former Guardsman head of sales and key partnerships, as head of sales (South).
‘It’s great to welcome Paul and Richard to the team at Castelan. With their strong experience and expertise in this industry, we can only go from strength to strength as they join our existing sales and business development colleagues delivering excellent support to our partners,’ says Paul Owen, Castelan director of business development.
‘Having spent eight years at Guardsman, I am excited to join Castelan and looking forward to the new challenge ahead. I have been inspired by the leadership’s vision, the team’s energy, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact from day one,’ says Jennings.
‘I’m thrilled to be starting a new chapter with Castelan, one that aligns closely with how I believe great companies succeed, through culture, innovation and a commitment to doing things the right way. From my first interactions, it was clear that Castelan is a place where people are empowered to think differently, act decisively and focus on solutions rather than barriers. It’s a business that embraces change, encourages fresh thinking, and backs its people to make things happen. Equally important to me is the company’s genuine focus on relationships and with sights set on growth, new partnerships and a clear vision for the future, there’s a real sense of momentum here. I’m excited to be a part of the future,’ says Oloyede, pictured with Martin Napper, Castelan ceo.
