Epic expands Business Development team

Epic Group plc, the UK's leading e-learning company, today announces the appointments of Henrietta Palmer and Therese Coyne as Business Development Directors, further strengthening the company's sales force and regional coverage. The move reflects Epic's confidence in its current trading position, following the release of a highly positive set of annual results.

Henrietta joins the e-government team, based at Epic's Brighton office. Therese has been brought in to work with private sector clients across the Midlands and the North, and is based in Cambridgeshire. Henrietta Palmer joins Epic from KnowledgePool, having been a business development manager in the new media industry for four years. During this time she has used her strong organisational and project management skills to ensure her clients achieve their learning objectives. Her previous clients have been in both the public and private sector, and include DfES, UfI, Lloyds TSB and British Airways.

Prior to joining Epic, Therese Coyne was an account manager at Pathlore. She has sold at senior management and director level for over 15 years, most recently selling Learning Management Solutions to global organisations in the UK and Europe, including Yell, British Telecom, Intellixis, GlaxoSmithKline & Vodafone. Therese has also sold Knowledge Management solutions to organisations including CAA (Civil Aviation Authority), ICRF (International Cancer Research Fund) and PowerGen.

Donald Clark, CEO of Epic Group plc, said, 'Epic has a widening client base, from the south-east of England to Scotland. With rising levels of business, we have strengthened our sales team, giving us a geographic spread. We had already broadened our coverage by appointing someone in Bristol and Scotland, and these two new appointments give us further breadth and depth.'
