Meet the Team: Linda
The next person to feature in our meet the team series is Linda Thomson our business manager. With a nickname as strong as the “Salt Queen” you must assume she has reputation to match within the industry. Linda has played a pivotal role in growing various market sectors over the years. From Aquaculture to Hides and Skins, and of course, the Winter market, Linda is an expert in it all. She tells us all below.
Linda’s role
Linda joined Peacock Salt 22 years ago in a sales role, and her career has been on an upward trajectory ever since. As a self-made expert in all things salt, Linda is the go-to person for virtually any salt-related query. Her deep knowledge and passion for the industry has afforded her a reputation for top-notch customer satisfaction with some customers as old as her tenure.
In her day-to-day role, Linda is responsible for a wide range of activities, including setting pricing strategies, maintaining and nurturing client relationships, negotiating deals, and staying informed on various market trends and product innovations.
A piece of advice for Linda’s younger self
A piece of advice Linda had for her younger self was to “find a balance between professional and personal life as both are super important”.
If Linda wasn’t at Peacock Salt, she’d be…
Working as an accountant, that’s what she planned on doing after leaving school, but she “left numbers to count grains of salt instead!”
Outside of work
When Linda is not securing new leads or supporting our team, she enjoys diving into the newest crime novel trying to solve the plot before the big reveal and walking her socks off up to 40 miles a week.
