E.E. & BRIAN SMITH - Key Persons


Cheryl Stokes

Job Titles:
  • Logistics
I joined the company in September 2021 and have been welcomed into the EEBS family and feel like I have always been here. (in a good way!)

David Welch

Job Titles:
  • Account Manager
Started at this incredibly welcoming company in 2019 as an Account Manager. First impressions are key for me and a converted barn sitting on an expansive plot of farmland is a nice touch; not to mention the people. Being the fast paced industry we're in, the day-to-day is demanding and ever changing. But it's part of what makes Brian Smith the unique and exciting place it is. We're able to travel the world in this role, and are much better at our jobs for it! (although the target to pick up some of the languages on the way is not going that well). I'm a keen football player myself, but being the ripe old age of 33 means it's 5-a-side once a week as opposed to 11-a-side every weekend. Yes I know Messi is still in his prime but I don't eat enough greens.

I'm thrilled to be part of the EEBS family as an Account Manager since August 2023. From day one, I've been amazed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere within the team. It's inspiring to see colleagues with diverse professional backgrounds coming together, always ready to lend a hand to a newcomer like myself. With a background deeply rooted in the flavours industry, I am now eager to broaden my horizons and skills with such an innovative and dynamic company like EEBS.

Michele Pocock

Job Titles:
  • Logistics Manager
My career with E.E. & Brian Smith started as an ‘office junior' at sweet seventeen, starting at the bottom and working my way up, learning all aspects of the business, deciding on my career path to my current position in charge of the shipping and logistics for the company. I am the longest serving member of the company exceeding my former director who when he retired had served 31 years, mine currently being in my 40th year. It still only seems like yesterday that I was young, free, single, opinionated, headstrong and with an emphasis that everything must be done right. This is still the case today on how I work and lead my team and I was very pleased that just recently advised by this retired director that "he had chosen the right one"!
