Leading independent sawmillers and processors of British timber, James Jones & Sons Ltd, are pleased to announce the appointment of Gillian McMillan as their new Marketing Manager.

Ms McMillan, who holds a Masters in Marketing, worked in the hospitality industry and in academia before joining James Jones.

Graham Blyth, Senior Manager Sales commented: "The creation of this position consolidates the group's marketing activities and follows the recent £25 Million investment in the new sawline at Lockerbie, significant additional capital expenditure in secondary processing and the group's continued focus on enhancing its range of products and services. This role will be especially important as we introduce and promote new products to market during 2012."

Gillian McMillan added: "I am very excited to be working with a long-established and prestigious company like James Jones and look forward to taking up the challenge of marketing the company's increasing range of timber and timber based products and services."

Gillian will be based at the company's head office in Larbert.
