πŸ‘‹ Meet the Team: Sean Reynolds, Sales Manager

This week, we're introducing Sean Reynolds, our Sales Manager, who joined Billington Outdoor ten months ago and has quickly become an important part of the team.

Sean's role is split between strategic planning and working directly with customers and dealers across the country. Two days a week are spent in the office, helping to drive both short and long-term sales strategies, working closely with suppliers, strengthening customer relationships, and collaborating with our sales, marketing and product development teams.

The other three days are spent out on the road, meeting with dealers, showcasing new products, delivering training, and ensuring customers receive the support and service they need to grow their businesses. With early starts, plenty of travel and the occasional overnight stay, no two weeks are ever quite the same.

When asked what he enjoys most about working at Billington Outdoor, Sean said:

πŸ’¬ "The best thing about working here is the people and the opportunities. I get to work with a fantastic team, meet customers across the country, and play a key role in bringing exciting new products to market. The mix of office-based planning and time on the road keeps the job fresh and rewarding."

Sean describes the team as:

βœ… Friendly
βœ… Professional
βœ… Collaborative

Growing up, Sean dreamed of becoming a professional skateboarder. While his career took a different path, his passion for adventure is still very much part of who he is today.

Outside of work, you'll often find Sean making the most of the great outdoors. Whether it's a mountain bike ride through the Lakes or Wales, a countryside hike with family and friends, or a camping weekend away, he's happiest when he's outside exploring.

🍽️ Favourite meal after a busy day?

Sean describes himself as a bit of a foodie, having previously run his own catering company. For him, it's all about good food made with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

If he wasn't doing his current role?

πŸ’¬ "Retiring, but I've got a few years yet!"

Is your orchard ready for autumn storms?

After months of producing a fantastic crop, fruit trees can be left carrying hidden damage, weakened branches and dead wood that may not withstand strong autumn winds.

That's why autumn isn't just about harvesting. It's also one of the most important times of the year for orchard maintenance.

In our latest blog, we cover:

βœ… How to inspect fruit trees for storm damage
βœ… The best ways to storm proof fruit trees
βœ… Common signs of weak or dangerous branches
βœ… Essential autumn tree maintenance tips
βœ… Why Hendon Tripod Ladders are ideal for working safely on uneven orchard ground

Whether you're managing a small orchard, caring for apple trees in the garden, or preparing fruit trees for winter, a little maintenance now could help prevent costly damage later.

As Andrew puts it, there's never nothing to do!

When asked what he enjoys most about working at Billington Outdoor, his answer brought a smile to the team:

πŸ’¬ "Free wood for my spare time!"

Outside of work, Andrew enjoys spending time with his daughter, often exploring the beautiful Lake District with his drone in tow and making the most of the outdoors.

Growing up, Andrew dreamed of becoming an excavator driver or designer, which reflects the practical, hands-on approach he brings to his role today.
