Within the Reisser Group of Companies O’Neill is a director and shareholder of Pak-Pro Ltd (The Logistics Company for Reisser), Reisser Ireland Ltd, ARB Sales Ltd and JC Wholesale Imports Ireland Ltd. She started Pak-Pro, Reisser Ireland and JC Wholesale herself.

“I am really pleased to be joining Reisser, it is a great opportunity to join a first-class team, and I am looking forward to getting involved in all aspects of my new role,” he said.

Having spent 11 years in the Timber industry, Peach went on to spend 19 years working at a fixings distributor in a variety of roles over that time, including the position of area sales manager for North West of England and Ireland.

Mark Elliott has been appointed as product manager, Power Tool Accessories. His main role is to further develop the Reisser PTA range, including new packaging together with new ranges and sizes under the Reisser brand.
