Rob Baughan to develop business in East Anglia and North London
Following its appointment by The Ali Group as UK distributor of the Comenda ware washer range, Hubbard Systems is expanding its sales and customer support team. The latest recruit is Robert Baughan, whose role is Business Development Manager for East Anglia and North London. He will look after both the Comenda and the Scotsman brands.
Rob is a sales professional who has spent most of his career in the media. “The focus there is to drill down to find out exactly what the customer wants, then to provide a solution to match,” he says.
Simon Aspin, Commercial Director of Hubbard Systems, welcomes the different perspective Rob‘s experience will bring. “He has an excellent track record of sales in a difficult and competitive environment,” he says. “His expertise will be especially valuable as we build up sales of the Comenda brand.”
Rob says it was friends in the hospitality industry who suggested he apply for the Hubbard Systems job. “Their very positive feedback on Hubbard, both for customer support and the quality of the Scotsman product, made my mind up – this is a company I want to work for.
“Taking on the Comenda range and bringing it under the Hubbard Systems ethos of service and customer care increases the variety of my role. My aim is to make a real difference to Hubbard and to our dealer network.”
Rob is 29 years old. He and his wife are expecting their second child. Outside of work he says his interests are mostly focused on “looking after a three-year old!”
Hubbard Systems is the UK distributor for the market-leading Scotsman range of icemakers and the Comenda range of ware washers, both of which are available via dealers nationwide.
