Gram has appointed David Nisbet as its new account manager for Scotland and Ireland to help grow the business, maintain existing relationships and develop new partnerships.

Mr Nisbet has extensive experience in foodservice, having first worked in the equipment industry as a teenager, helping out at Falcon Catering Equipment in the marketing department during his school summer holidays.

He then joined Falcon on a permanent basis in 1997 as a distribution clerk and latterly as sales estimator. He remained until 2002, when he took a break out from the industry, before returning to foodservice as a sales representative with Catering Supplies & Repairs Co in 2005.

He went on to manage the sales department, before leaving to join ScoMac Catering Equipment Ltd. There he was part of a four-man sales team, and was able to hone his product knowledge and develop strong relationships with customers and suppliers/manufacturers, travelling throughout Scotland working on a number of different projects.
