Sherriff Amenity has announced the appointment of new amenity specialist James Wright, who will be responsible for covering the areas of Lancashire, South Cumbria and West Yorkshire for the company.

James brings with him a wealth of industry experience after joining from Rigby Taylor, where he spent seven years as a sales co-coordinator. During his time at Rigby Taylor, James was responsible for a number of administrative duties including inputting orders, preparing quotes and general customer service.

His previous role offered James a fantastic insight into the industry but when the opportunity arose to join Sherriff Amenity, he felt it was a move in the right direction.

“Personally I felt that the position of amenity specialist would offer me a more active role where I could have more of an influence with regards to sales. After speaking to Kenny Archibald, northern regional manager for Sherriff Amenity, I was convinced that this would be a really good and pro-active role for me,” he said.

As a keen sports fan, James is relishing the opportunity of visiting a number of sporting venues on a daily basis and assisting end users.

“I’m really enthusiastic about this role and am looking forward to working with the likes of golf clubs, football clubs and cricket clubs – all in all I just love being outside.

"I’m particularly interested in finding out what our customers are trying to achieve and having the chance to play an integral part in their turf projects."
