Glass packaging manufacturer Beatson Clark has strengthened its sales team with the appointment of Stephen Reyes as business development manager.

Stephen will be the new face of Beatson Clark, travelling round the UK to visit potential customers in the food, beverage, brewing, spirits and pharmaceutical sectors.

He has many years of experience working in sales and business development for a number of packaging firms, including Duo Ltd and Berlin Packaging UK.

While working at Berlin Packaging UK he became known as The Beer Guy after developing a reputation for his extensive knowledge and contacts in the brewing sector.

“I’ve known Beatson Clark and the marketing manager Charlotte Pike for a long time and I’ve always got on well with the company,” said Stephen.

“Beatson Clark is a relatively large business but it has a family feel, which is rare in these days of global corporations.

“I want to help Beatson Clark to grow and increase its turnover overall and I want to build even better relationships with our customers. My role is about identifying trends and looking for new markets.

“I’m looking forward to getting out there, meeting some new faces and getting reacquainted with existing customers. I’m aiming to build new relationships and make more people aware of Beatson Clark and the fantastic service we offer.

“Beatson Clark has a lot of brewing customers, which is a sector I really enjoy, and I’m very keen to maintain and continue to build my relationships there.”

Stephen lives in Manchester with his partner and two young sons. He has a been involved in football from an early age and is passionate about coaching the next generation of footballers in his under-eight team in Manchester.
