At CB Frost & Co, we are always working to increase our efficiency and look to the future to be able to provide the highest quality of products and services to our customers. As the company grows, to ensure we continue to offer the high level of customer care expected from us, we also endeavour to grow our team, investing in the right people to add to our company culture of ‘quality without compromise.’ As we start to look forward to 2025, we are very happy to welcome Tom Crosby as our new sales engineer.
Putting our people first, respect and teamwork are amongst our core values, helping us to maintain our ethos of ‘quality without compromise’. As a result, when we are building our team, as well as finding professionals with the right experience, it is important to us to source candidates that share our values.
With many years of experience in the retail sector, Tom adds some different skills to our thriving sales team.
“I’m incredibly happy to become part of the CB Frost family and I’m looking forward to helping continue the amazing success that has been achieved over the past 100 years. I have spent my career to date in retail, learning from some incredible people and honing my sales skills.
“After fifteen years, I needed to reflect on my career path and to find somewhere I could continue to grow.”
From our initial discussions, it was clear to us that Tom would fit in well with our team and contribute to our vision for the future. Daniel Brock, CB Frost Business Development Manager, said:
“Initially, CB Frost were keen to employ a candidate with a manufacturing background, as this had been tried and tested before. However, it quickly became evident that Tom was indeed the person we were looking for.”
Whilst from a retail background, Tom has already made his mark. Daniel added:
“His customer service, sales and communication skills were clearly apparent, and we had no hesitation in offering Tom the position, which I am delighted to say he has grabbed with both hands and is already implementing his own ideas and making the role his own.”
From Tom’s first impressions, he also understood that CB Frost was the perfect fit for his career goals and expressed his excitement about the challenges provided by entering the rubber and plastics industry, as well as working with clients in many major sectors.
“From the first meeting with Daniel and Mark (Jones, Sales Director), it was clear to me that we had a shared vision, understanding the importance of personal connections and building lasting relationships with customers and colleagues.
“The role is so exciting because of the vast range of industries that require our materials. You never know who you might be speaking to from one day to the next. I’m thrilled to have the challenge of coming into a new industry, and ready to learn as much as I can.”
Having now completed his probationary period, with his extensive experience in sales and a genuine desire to continue to develop his knowledge and skills, we are excited for Tom to play a key role in developing our business.
