39 year old Phil Jones, the sales and marketing head of Brother UK, has been named ‘Young Professional of the Year’ at the European Office Products Awards.
 Jones: young, professional Jones picked up the gong at the Frankfurt-based event in recognition of his achievements and stellar rise through the ranks at Brother – a trajectory which has propelled him from fax salesman, 13 years ago, to being the youngest ever board director of any Brother group business globally.He said of the accolade: “We work in a dynamic industry which requires innovative sales and management strategies. Awards such as these recognise the hard work of a whole business, not just an individual. “I’m looking forward to helping to steer the Brother UK business to the next level as we celebrate our 50th anniversary of selling in Europe during 2008.” Brother last hit the news pages on How-Do in November when it was reported that Chris Hind, the then marketing chief, was leaving the firm after 20-plus years in the business. Jones has since taken on his responsibilities, in addition to those required from his previous standalone sales director role. Something to add? Then leave a comment below or email us now.
