The leading tool firm has added to its staff rosta after an exciting year of growth for the business.

Leading tool firm Draper Tools is proud to announce six new appointments, in what has been an exciting year of growth for the business.

Sarah Hartland has been promoted to Head of Marketing, alongside five impressive new hires across the company’s sales and finance teams. 

Hartland, who previously held the position of Marketing Campaign Manager, will be the youngest member of the 104 year old company’s senior leadership team at just 32 years old. Having joined the business over four years ago, she has been an integral part of the marketing team during that time, playing a crucial role in many of the company’s most successful product launches.

Mark Broughton joins Draper Tools as Director of Finance and will be overseeing the company’s financial future and strategies for growth and expansion. Broughton equally brings a great deal of relevant knowledge and experience to the role, having joined Draper from Cycling Sports Group and worked in finance for over 20 years. 

Draper’s expanding sales team has been boosted by the appointment of Paul Middlemiss as Automotive Sales Manager as well as Nick Ward and Carl Osborne as Key Account Managers. With over 20 years of industry experience and a real passion for the sector, Middlemiss is well-placed to manage Draper’s automotive sales. Meanwhile, Ward and Osborne both join Draper with significant experience, having previously held roles with Metabo. 

Also newly appointed to the sales team is Jack Alcock who joins Draper as Lead Marketplace Account Manager from Rinkit, where he was Head of Marketplaces.  

The appointments come at a time of innovation and modernisation for family-owned Draper Tools, which kicked off with the appointment of Matt Sheen as CEO in January 2023
