DRINKS dispensing equipment firm Brewfitt has appointed Katie Hughes as sales and customer service assistant.

Ms Hughes (pictured) joined the Fenay Bridge-based company over a year ago as office administrator.

In her new role, she will deal with new and existing customer enquiries, process orders and maintain customer service levels. She will also provide support to the senior management team, including Edward Turner, who joined Brewfitt in May as sales manager.

Operations director James Paxman said: “Since joining Brewfitt a year ago, Katie has been a great asset to the team. When given the opportunity to get involved with the customer service and sales side of the business she didn’t look back.”
