Contract hire and salary sacrifice provider Tusker has announced two new promotions within the company as it continues its expansion plans.

Alison Argall has been promoted from business development manager to the new post of business development director, while at the same time, head of account management, Veronica Steele, has been promoted to the position of account development director.

“Both appointments have been made in recognition of the significant contribution they have made to the development of the business and our confidence in their abilities to steer Tusker to the next phase of our planned growth and expansion,” said managing director, David Hosking.

Argall joined Tusker eight years ago from Alcester, the largest independent importer of glassware and china in the hospitality industry, where she was national sales manager.

In her new role, she will be responsible for growing the business development team, including mentoring, training and developing the existing business development managers, recruiting others, as well as developing her own sales function, and will join the senior management team at Tusker.

Veronica Steele, meanwhile, has taken on the role of account development director, overseeing a team of account development and implementation managers and working closely with Tusker clients across all products within the portfolio.
