Hubbard expands sales team

Orbit advert 3Simon ByronUK: Hubbard Ice Systems, distributor of Scotsman ice machines, has appointed Adam Byron as regional sales manager for the Midlands and Northern England.

“The expansion of the sales team is part of a major investment programme designed to realise the full potential of our market position,” says Simon Aspin, HIS’s recently appointed commercial director.
