Since 2014, Hughes has had the role of head of sales for UKIB and in the development of the UKIB business. “Ben has an impressive growth track record and enjoys great respect from our major accounts in the UK, which makes him the right person to lead the UKIB business and continue Puma’s growth momentum,” said Arne Freundt, Regional General Manager EMEA.
