Wightlink has this week announced that a new Head of Retail has been appointed at the company.

Speaking about his new role, Simon has said:
“This is my ideal job as I love living on the Isle of Wight and look forward to leading the team promoting Island produce with Wightlink. The Island is becoming a ‘foodie’ destination to be proud of and I will enjoy working with Iocal companies and organisations to expand our offer still further.”
Clive Tilley, Wightlink’s Business Development Director has said:
“I am delighted that Simon will be joining us. With his solid track record in sales and a passion for the Isle of Wight, he will help us go from strength to strength in introducing Island produce to our customers from the mainland.”
