Land of Beds has promoted Alan Jones, Wigan store manager to general sales manager.
His promotion comes after strong growth at the branch under his leadership.
‘Alan has quickly mastered the bed industry since joining Land of Beds, and helped drive a successful year at the Wigan store, consistently delivering the expert guidance and personalised service our customers expect. His appointment reinforces our commitment to having the most knowledgeable and experienced team in the sleep industry,’ says Mike Murray, Land of Beds md.
Jones will be at the centre of Land of Beds’ customer-focused approach, managing day-to-day operations across sales teams; heading all training and development initiatives as part of the ‘Land of Beds Way’ programme; setting departmental KPIs; managing sales and customer communications and working with Maria Jones (pictures with Jones), Land of Beds sales director on merchandising strategies and store standards.
‘Alan brings 40 years of experience and insight from his prior positions as store manager and area manager within the retail industry. His proven ability to adapt products and services around customer needs, rather than the other way around, makes him the perfect fit for this expanded role. We’re really excited about Alan’s promotion and look forward to seeing how his four decades of retail wisdom will help drive Land of Beds forward,’ she says.
