University Games and Lagoon are celebrating an internal promotion as well as welcoming a new starter this spring, contributing to the growth of both the Sales and Marketing teams.

Toby Hall, who joined University Games in 2021 as a Sales administrator, has now been promoted to Area Sales manager for the South-East region, joining the business’s nationwide-strong Sales team of the games, puzzles and gift specialists. Toby, who has worked hard to progress from Sales administrator to purchasing assistant, and now to Area Sales manager, says he is excited to be getting on the road, utilising his extensive product knowledge, meeting customers and growing the retailer base in his area.

The Marketing team at University Games has also welcomed Chloe Reed in the role of Marketing executive as the business continues to strategically develop further in this department. Chloe brings with her a wealth of diverse marketing knowledge, following previous positions as a category executive in the FMCG sector.

Gemma Lewington, Marketing director, and Mark Jones, Sales director, for University Games and Lagoon, are both delighted to have Chloe and Toby join their departments, bringing even greater strength and depth to the successful University Games team.

“With the acquisition of The Learning Journey International this year, this is a great time to be joining University Games, and we are sure that Toby and Chloe will both play an integral part in the success and growth of the business,” said Gemma.
