Birmingham fine and bridal jewellery manufacturer Hockley Mint has appointed Peter Carmichael as Area Sales Manager for southern England.

Peter replaces Allan Ridings and is responsible for developing sales for all areas of the business – from wedding rings and mounts to bullion and castings – having earned a wealth of experience within the industry over the past 11 years.

Hockley Mint’s National Sales Manager, Andrew Mills, said: “Peter is joining us at a very exciting time as we are well positioned for continued growth throughout our business. With Peter’s vast experience and knowledge, both of finished jewellery and casting and manufacturing, plus his extensive customer base built up over many years in the field, I am certain that Peter will continue to grow sales in the South and develop strong relationships with our retail and manufacturing partners.

I know that Peter can’t wait to re-connect with his customers and meet new ones at the upcoming CMJ and IJL trade events. I’m sure that his customers appreciate his friendly and helpful way of working, as he helps them to make sales and grow their businesses.”
