With over 35 years of experience between them, the new recruits include Carey Devine, as head of sales, Josh Bishop as head of international sales, and Jamie Jillard as head of marketing. The new appointments reflect the brand’s ambitious plans for growth for 2023 and beyond.
Jamie will be focussed on developing the GSG brands to build a stronger connection with both The Little Green Sheep and Snüz customers. Her new role will see Jamie elevate the Snüz brands as thought leader and expert in sleep, while also harnessing and developing the natural pathway for The Little Green Sheep.
