Bolton-based Cash Generator has appointed Stuart Owens as director of digital marketing.
Stuart joins Cash Generator with 15 years experience of internet marketing and will report directly to managing director, Julian Urry. His appointment marks a significant step for Cash Generator – it is the first time the company has employed a digital specialist.
Signalling the start of Cash Generator’s internet expansion for both customers and potential franchisees, Stuart will be solely responsible for the company’s online offering.
In his new role, Stuart will integrate Cash Generator’s online services with its stores, opening up an opportunity to maximise the full potential of the company.
He is also tasked with making further improvements to the retail website, creating a platform full of information to attract potential franchisees as well as developing the financial services that are available to customers online.
Cash Generator’s website was launched in September 2009 and is unique in the franchising industry. Visitors to the site can shop online instantly, purchasing items from any Cash Generator store from across the UK. It has an average of over 110,000 unique visitors each month.
Stuart is highly experienced in internet marketing, making him well placed to assume this new role. During his career, Stuart spent seven years as board director at Photolink Creative Group and was responsible for a number of high profile retail clients including John Lewis, DSGi and Matalan.
No stranger to online opportunities, Stuart was commercial director at Freglecom, an IT firm in Lancashire, as well as chief executive at KSD.Net, an internet solutions business, where he oversaw and led the sale of the company to the Fraser Eagle Group in 2001.
Speaking about his appointment, Stuart says: “I am excited to be joining Cash Generator. With its new retail website proving to be a great success, we want to take advantage of this opportunity and become a market leader in this field. We already offer a great range of products online and by continually improving our digital service we are further increasing our commitment to cater for our customers needs.”
When not working, Bury born Stuart enjoys spending time with his family and playing golf and tennis. He is also an avid Manchester City fan.
Established in 1994, Cash Generator is the UK’s leading buy, sell and loan store offering a top quality selection of pre-owned and brand new for sale as well as instant cash for goods and a host of highly competitive financial services.
