BPR director Andrew Gibson said: ìThe success of the regionís economy is creating enormous growth in demand for senior people in sales and marketing. Paul Bendelow has a tremendous knowledge of the marketplace and an excellent network of contacts. He is the ideal person to help us meet the needs of existing and new clients.î
