The Boston-based firm has taken on a new national account manager, marketing data analyst and development technologist.

The company also welcomes Callum Albrighton as marketing data analyst, and Jodie Dean as development technologist.

Meanwhile, Michaela Watson, who joined the company in November 2014 as Quality Assurance Compliance Manager, has been promoted to Assistant Technical Manager.

Mark Newton, managing director, said: “This business has enormous potential, and I’m determined to steer Freshtime’s growth in a positive direction.

“I’m delighted with these new appointments and I’m confident that our new recruits will hit the ground running,” he added.
