Erstwhile Hallmark trading director, Angela Anderson to join licensee this month.
Angela Anderson – formerly trading director of Hallmark and prior that, a head of buying for Tesco – is joining Danilo Promotions as its new sales director.
Angela, who officially takes up her new position at the Waltham Cross-based licensed card and calendar company on October 14, will bring with her a wealth of experience of both greeting cards and retailer needs.
Prior to working with Tesco (as its head of buying for greeting cards, giftwrap, stationery, party and Halloween), Angela worked for Sainsbury’s and Woolworths.
During her time at both Hallmark and Tesco, Angela worked closely with Danilo on greeting cards and also alongside the company’s licensing director, Dan Grant when he worked at Hallmark.
Danilo’s managing director, Daniel Prince, told sister title PG Buzz how he is “absolutely delighted” to have Angela joining the team.
“Having worked with Angela in her previous roles, I have always admired her professionalism and with the invaluable experience she brings, I know she will be a great asset to the Danilo team,” he said.
Commenting on her new role, Angela, who has been on extended ‘garden leave’ period since leaving Hallmark, said: “I’m really thrilled to be given the opportunity to join Danilo. They have strong plans in place to succeed in a challenging retail environment and I’m looking forward to be playing a key role in the future of the business.”
