A New Leading Lady at Garador

Leading British garage door manufacturer Garador has just enhanced its management team with the appointment of Sam Todd as the company’s new Commercial Manager.

Sam has been with the company since 1998, when she joined Garador after studying business at college. Working her way up through various roles, including Customer Centre Manager and Internal Accounts Manager, Sam brings to her new position a wealth of hands-on experience.

Now, as Garador’s Commercial Manager, Sam will be involved in a wide range of commercial aspects, including financial and growth strategies, and will also support Garador’s national sales management team.

Sam says she wouldn’t have progressed so far in her career without the support of Garador.

“In my 26 years with the company, I have seen first-hand how training and flexibility can really help all aspects of a workforce and business,” she said. “Garador supported me through adapting work requirements when my children were young and also sponsoring further training for me; thanks to their support, I was able to return part-time to college to obtain my HNC in Business  and Finance.”

In her years with the company, Sam says one area of change that has been particularly noticeable has been the range of products.

“Of course, a lot of this change is thanks to advances in technology,” Sam said. “This has affected almost all parts of the company, from the new technically advanced paints that we use today, with their superb durability, finishes and depth of colour and the computer-controlled machinery we use in our manufacturing and production processes right up to our communications with customers and even energy sourcing from the solar panels on the roof here.

“It has all come in gradually, but looking back to when I first started, the changes in the company over the years have been really quite dramatic,” she added.

Sam’s appointment will allow Emma Hannam the opportunity to focus on the future strategic direction of the business and the wider elements within the organisation, with ongoing support for the Sales and Commercial functions.

“We are delighted with Sam’s new appointment,” said Emma. “Her experience with Garador will bring additional expertise into our current management team and we wish her every success in her new position.”

Sam's appointment as Garador's new Commercial Manager adds to an already well-established management team with over 117  years of combined experience within the manufacturing industry. This move is sure to strengthen Garador’s existing management structure.
