Luxury fabric specialist Kobe has welcomed a new account manager, Jason Garwood, to the Midlands region as business continues to grow.
Jason is well-established within the industry, having worked with other high-end fabric houses over the past two decades. He will be covering the area extending from Northamptonshire to Staffordshire plus the Isle of Man.
Jason, who lives in Halesowen, played football professionally for Leicester City and Northampton Town in the early 1990s. His passion for the sport remains and he still enjoys playing in his spare time.
"I am delighted to be on board and working with such a strong and continually evolving brand," Jason says. "I look forward to meeting clients, both old and new, and using my wealth of experience in the industry to help guide them in creating inspirational interiors."
