Staff Profiles

Over the next few months, Stockwells will be providing staff profiles, so you can get to know your representative of Stockwell International!!

Name: Angela Gambell

Job Title: Director Sales & Marketing

My role includes managing new sales, current client retention and expansion, rates negotiation, freight consultation and marketing activities. 

My previous experience includes: Avco Finance credit controller, Suncorp Bank customer service officer, Suncorp Metway business analyst and Whittaker McNaught Private EA.

I never thought I would end up working for the family business, it seemed so boring when I was younger. I felt that having outside commercial experience was important, however, fate stepped in with me losing my job (long story) and I was given an opportunity as a sales and marketing representative. The rest is 17 years worth of history. Let’s say I found my calling!

Name: Rebecca Taylor

Job Title: National Sales Executive

At Stockwells my role includes identifying,  developing and managing new sales and current clients, ensuring all customers have a tailored logistics solution that suits them.  By communicating with both clients and our suppliers regularly, I can consistently review accounts to ensure we are delivering the most efficient personalized service possible.  

I have no previous experience, as I was fresh out of school 12years ago!!

Im a mum to two babies and two fur babies!! I love footy (NRL), cricket, V8s, F1and swimming (and my weekends usually revolve around watching some sort of sport on the tv).

Since starting at Stockwells 12 years ago, not only did I find a job to start paying my parents board, I also found a career that I genuinely love coming to work day in and day out!
