Foodhub, one of the UK’s largest takeaway delivery platforms, has just announced the appointment of new Chief Revenue Officer Martin Hawkes, who brings over 25 years of dedicated sales experience to the rapidly growing brand.
As part of his new role, in which he oversees field sales, telesales and marketing on a global scale, Hawkes works with a core team of five managers, between them responsible for over 160 staff worldwide.
Previously the Vice President of sales for MICROS, a global POS provider – Hawkes ran the Retail Division of the company where he was responsible for a turnover of around £60M.
The success of his work with MICROS resulted Hawkes being head-hunted by private equity company Better Capital, where he helped in the transformation of Omnico Group leading the sales and marketing teams on a global basis.
2020 saw Foodhub achieve incredible success, including overtaking Uber Eats on the number of restaurant partners. Hawkes has been brought in to maximise growth potential across multiple territories, whilst streamlining processes within the rapidly growing business.
Hawkes said, “When you look across the board at the different takeaway aggregator apps, Foodhub is an organisation in the right space at the right time to make real change in the industry. Having the opportunity to help shape such a fast-growing organisation at a key time in its development is what really attracted me to the role.
“What we’re doing is creating a commercial model that is completely unique on this scale; one which has the potential to completely change the market as we know it. I’m excited to see where the next 12 months takes us.”
