Greater Manchester-based Brother UK has appointed Julie Harrison as Chief Commercial Officer to its senior leadership team, as the business continues to expand its print and labelling portfolio, grow its channel presence and accelerate its sustainability initiatives.
Julie previously served as Head of Commercial and Business Planning, a role she has held as part of a career spanning more than three decades with the business. She brings extensive experience across commercial operations, including promotions, rebates and bid management, as well as sales forecasting and budget planning.
Phil Jones MBE, Managing Director at Brother UK, has said:
“Julie and I have worked together for over three decades and she is great example of someone that has risen through the ranks of the company due to her rock-solid reliability, ability to handle complex problems and attention to detail. I am delighted she will join our senior leadership team as we continue to pursue growth and expand into new vertical markets.”
The Chief Commercial Officer’s remit for Brother UK is to deliver value to its partners – shaping pricing programmes that enable sustainable, mutually beneficial growth across the channel.
Julie will sit on the leadership team alongside Phil Jones MBE (Managing Director), Louise Marshall (Director of ESG & OD), Stuart Maclean (Chief Financial Officer), Keith Howe (Director of Supply Chain & Service), Mike Anderson (Chief Marketing Officer) and Greig Millar (Chief Revenue Officer).
Julie Harrison, Chief Commercial Officer, comments:
“Having spent more than 30 years with Brother UK, I’ve seen first-hand how important it is to build strong, consistent foundations for growth – from how we support partners commercially, to how we plan and deliver for the long term. Joining the leadership team reflects the importance we place on getting those fundamentals right. Whether it’s bid management, forecasting or partner programmes, these are the areas that ensure we deliver on our commitments and build lasting relationships across our channel partners.”
