Yorkshire-based Vapour Cloud has recruited James Hartley as a Key Account Manager, a newly created role.
The appointment is reflective of Vapour's focus on partners and ambition to generate 30% growth by the end of 2020.
Hartley's experience includes a spell as a telemarketer with Virgin Media Business, his first job after leaving university. He progressed to corporate account management and a business development position before moving to Gamma to become a data specialist.
“When I started out in my career, I felt that the most exciting job prospects came from working in large companies with robust training programmes," he said. "But it’s clear that some of the most significant opportunities lie in smaller, ambitious and more agile firms.
“Vapour has gone from being a bold new entrant in the market, only a few years ago, to a key brand known for disrupting the space. The team is not afraid to punch above its weight and neither am I.”
Vapour’s CEO Tim Mercer added: “We’re now working with partners and their customers the length and breadth of the UK. It’s therefore crucial that we continue to bolster our team so that we can respond to enquiries quickly, and deliver solutions with the level of quality and speed that fast-paced organisations really need – not least in the current climate.
“James is an experienced, enthusiastic and personable colleague who fits in with the people led culture within our organisation. He can speak the lingo and look beyond the obvious, but won’t promise anything we can’t deliver either. This straight talking integrity is important in our world.”
