Fri-Jado expands UK team with new appointment

Catering equipment manufacturing company Fri-Jado has expanded its UK team with the appointment of Sanita Rani as its new UK business development manager.

In her role, Rani will seek to further support the distributor market, as well as the chain and group accounts and contract catering opportunities for Fri-Jado.

She most recently worked as account manager for meat-free food company GoodLife and has also held client-facing roles for Stella Artois, Heineken, and BMW.

Rani said: “It’s hugely exciting to be joining the Fri-Jado team. The business has a longstanding reputation for not only offering a first-class product portfolio but also for exemplary after-sales support, as well as a creative and collaborative culture with an emphasis on making sure we identify and solve the challenges our customers are facing in their everyday business.”

Gary Thacker, sales director at Fri-Jado UK said Rani’s role was “critical both to our business today and for our plans as we look ahead”.

“Sanita’s experience immediately felt aligned with our vision for the future of the team and the wider business. Her experience with branded customer propositions will be a huge asset as we expand into a wider range of sectors," Thacker said.
