When this opportunity arose I immediately threw my hat into the ring and am absolutely delighted to be taking on this new role. Pandaw is a unique company and, over the coming weeks, I will be formulating a sales strategy aimed at raising awareness of the brand and equipping agents with the knowledge and tools to sell it to their customers. I’m looking forward to introducing agents to the wonderful world of Pandaw and to working with them to support any sales and marketing initiatives, as well as enhancing existing relationships and fostering new ones.

The UK remains our largest and most important market share and, with Joseph’s energy and experience, we look forward to bringing the Pandaw experience to a broader market as we grow with new ships and routes planned over the next two years.”
