Kondor new business director Simon Hassell is to exit the distributor to

head up non-OEM Bluetooth company Bluechipworld (BCW).

Hassell (pictured) will remain a board advisor to Kondor, providing

guidance on existing and new business. He joins Midlandsbased BCW, one of

Kondor’s biggest accounts, on July 1 as managing director.

He takes national account manager Jason Bisseker, who managed Kondor’s

Tesco account, with him. Bisseker and Hassell both previously worked at

Dextra. Bisseker joins BCW as sales director.

Hassell said: "I am excited with Bluechipworld and the chance to continue

working closely with Kondor, building on the relationship that already

exists between the two companies. The opportunities we have developed

have provided a substantial platform to deliver the service our customers

and the industry needs."

Kondor sales director Ben Bushell will manage Kondor’s non-traditional

channel, which Hassell headed, as well as the traditional channel and

trade sales. Kondor has also appointed three national account executives

for its retail, networks and grocery channels, and will recruit new

members to its financial department, logistics team and account

management resource.

Managing director Rob Haycock said: "It is vital to the business we

recruit and expand to meet the needs of customers.” Bushell said: “The

number of experienced non-traditional channel personnel has increased

significantly over the past two years.

"Simon has achieved some great results and I look forward to our

continued relationship, as well as his input in to Kondor’s growth in

handset, SIM-packs and mobile broadband dongles."
