Musto appoints head of sales
Lifestyle clothing brand Musto has appointed Steve Jepson to the newly created role of head of sales as part of its growth plans.
The move follows the hiring of Simon Rosenberg as head of retail, also a new position.
Reporting to Musto commercial director Simon Busby, Jepson will work to grow the brand’s core specialist distribution while building a complementary presence in premium department stores and multiple channels. He will also manage the established UK and Eire sales team and will take responsibility for all wholesale channels within the market.
Jepson’s previous roles include head of sales at Hunter Boot and several senior positions with footwear and sports brands such as Fred Perry and O’Neill.
Commenting on the appointment, Busby said: “We are delighted to welcome Steve on board. His previous experience, knowledge and connections in our industry and beyond, along with a history of evolving and growing core channel traditional distribution, whilst expanding brand reach by adding new complementary distribution, will certainly add to a strong existing team as we seek to deliver our strategic pillars of growth for the UK and Eire.”
