I would like to announce to my network that I will be taking early retirement and leaving Apex EU on the 23rd of December 2016. I would also like to take this opportunity to say big thanks to all the customers that came on board and have worked with Apex to our mutual advantage, UK based companies such as Arco, Hayley group, Key Fasteners, and international businesses Asda / Walmart, Eriks, Ricoh and many more across UK Europe, the MEA region.Having played a major role in bringing Apex Europe out of the ground in 2011 I have pioneered through cold calling, managing and growing people and account development, built a strong diverse customer base from zero and now leave at a time when Apex is about to expand and evolve into the next phase of its strategic plan. From this beginning we have grown over £8,000,000 worth of new direct sales across 13 countries and provided a platform for Apex to now greatly expand in both resource and turnover in the next 3 years.Best regardsstephenAs director of business development for EMEA for Apex Supply Chain Technologies Ltd. I support companies in the logistics and warehousing sector in optimally managing mission-critical assets such as handheld scanners, radios and rechargeable batteries.This is achieved through the strategic implementation of cloud-based, automated dispensing systems, providing secure, accountable solutions which track the usage of these assets and encourage employees to take greater responsibility in this area. These systems are proven to reduce downtime and improve operational effectiveness, with measurable impact on the bottom line.
