Stephen Cormack

Hewden did look within the equipment industry, but also made a point of looking for sales professionals with the right blend of experience from further afield.

Cormack comes from the drinks industry, where he has followed a career in sales roles such as national account controller for Britvic, general manager for the Tenanted sector at Bass and most recently London sales director for Coors beer.

Mike Penn, Hewden’s sales and marketing director said: “The head of strategic accounts is a vital role for us and we were determined to talent scout the right person from a rich pool of candidates. Stephen’s background is from the brewing and drinks industry, but this sector has a reputation for recruiting and training some of the best sales personnel in the UK."

“We are sure, that with his history of achievement and high-level negotiation skills that he can bring some new values and ideas into the Hewden organisation and maintain our position as the UK’s number one plant hire equipment business.”
