As part of its plans to extend and strengthen its already strong reputation for creating fashionable footwear for women with wider feet and calves, Emotion Shoes has appointed Neil Bennett to the newly-created role of national sales manager.
Neil joins Emotion from J. R. Draper of Glastonbury where he was national accounts manager. Over the 16 years he has been in the fashion and footwear industry he has gained invaluable experience at all levels, and has held sales positions at R. E. Tricker, Barker of Earls Barton and Lotus Shoes. He began his career at leading East Midlands fashion emporium H.H.Cox.
