Merchandiser of the Month for October Named

IMS are pleased to announce the winner of our Merchandiser of the Month Award for October is Yvonne Would.

Yvonne was able to constantly demonstrate great determination to complete her visit objectives, even when confronted with obstacles during visits. In addition to this Yvonne used the rapport that she had built up with store staff to obtain real quantifiable results for our clients. What impressed us most however, is Yvonne's ability to identify, investigate and rectify many stocking problems with clients' SKUs.
 
As a result of being named Merchandiser of the Month, Yvonne will receive a bottle of bubbly and will also feature in the next issue of the IMS Chronicle. On behalf of everyone at IMS, we would like to pass on our sincere congratulations to Yvonne for being named October’s Merchandiser of the Month.
