LEIPA, a manufacturer of 100% recycled paper, has announced that Samantha Fullagar has been promoted to business development executive for LEIPA UK Graphic Paper.
Samantha will be taking over the relationship management of Graphic Paper accounts from Sarah Lesting. While Sarah will remain managing director of LEIPA UK, she will continue her career with LEIPA Group as head of sustainable solutions consulting, says the company.
Sarah states: “I‘m thrilled that Sam will be readily available for all our existing and new graphic paper customers! Along with Corinna and Tom, based in Tenterden, Kent, there is a wealth of knowledge and experience at LEIPA UK. Furthermore, with a comprehensive portfolio and dedication to sustainable solution offering, LEIPA offers a refreshing view on the world of print and paper!”
Samantha recently joined LEIPA in 2021 from pharmaceutical sales and has strong account management experience. Her appetite for learning and teamwork has allowed her to transition into the LEIPA UK family with ease and is now excited about her new challenge in Graphic Paper.
Before entering the industry, Samantha “never knew the complexity that exists in paper” and found it particularly fascinating to learn about all the grades and finishes on offer, as well as LEIPA’s sustainable approach to producing paper, added the company.
Something Sam is especially looking forward to in her new role is meeting new people and creating relationships with customers in person: “Throughout the pandemic, like the rest of the country, most of my time was spent on video conferences, so now I am excited to get out and connect with customers face-to-face while sharing my passion for this exciting industry.”
