The William Smith staff ‘family’ continues to develop and grow with two further new appointments.

Jonathan Harle, who has been with the company for 15 years, has become Northern Hardware Account Manager. During his time with William Smith Jonathan has developed and honed his knowledge and experience through several different departments, including artwork and graphics, and sign production. However, many customers will know him from his position as Commercial Sales Estimator. For the last 18 months, Jonathan has been Hardware Sales Estimator and this new role is seen as a natural progression into an expanding part of the business.

“I’m really looking forward to meeting in person many of the people I have spoken to on the phone or via e-mail,” says Jonathan.

Married and with a new baby boy, Ethan, Jonathan loves golf and football, and was an accomplished badminton player.

Thomas Hutchinson, one of William Smith’s newest recruits, has been appointed as Estimator. He joins the company in his first full time position since leaving 6th Form this year, having decided to get straight into work rather than go to University.

“I’m a local lad and was aware of William Smith as a reputable employer and I already know a lot of people who work here,” say Tom. “So, when I saw a position advertised, I applied straight away. I’ve been here a couple of months now and I’m enjoying every minute of it, meeting new people and getting to know customers on the phone.”
