LDT has further strengthened its sales team with the arrival of two new traders.

Stuart Smith joins as a hardwood trader responsible for Far East procurement and sales in the UK and Ireland, while Lesley Fuller also joins as hardwood trader focusing on UK sales.

Mr Smith was previously with Serenzo Flooring Industries where he was the wood forum export sales manager. Ms Fuller was hardwood sales manager at UCM.

Commenting on their appointments, LDT manager Vicki Link said: “Both Stuart and Lesley are a real asset to the team. They bring a wealth of highly relevant and valuable experience and are already establishing themselves with our UK customer base.”
