Pike joins BNM UK as National Sales Manager

Bord na Móna UK (BNM UK) has recruited Jason Pike as its National Sales Manager covering the retail market throughout the UK.  Heading up a team of six regional sales managers, Jason will spearhead BNM UK’s one stop shop peat-free and peat-reduced offer across existing accounts and an increasing number of new listings.

Jason (42) lives in Bristol and will be based at BNM UK’s head office in Bridgewater.  Prior to his new role with BNM UK, he was commercial horticultural manager for fabric, netting and fencing solutions specialist, Tildenet.  Commenting on his appointment, he said, “Garden and horticulture is a sector in which I have considerable experience and moving to Bord na Móna UK will enable me to develop my career.  Bord na Móna UK is ambitious to develop its brands in the UK and with its combination of Growise and Vital Earth, it has a very compelling offer.”

Steve Harper, Head of Bord na Móna UK said, “UK sales are growing rapidly now thanks to our ability to cover all the growing media bases with consistent quality product and reliable supply.  It’s great news that we are therefore able to boost the sales resource and I’m sure Jason will make a great job of leading the team.”

Bord na Móna UK’s parent company drives initiatives in green electricity, fuels, resource recovery, water and horticulture in Ireland, where it leads the way in peat reduction through its ‘Contract with Nature’.
