Euroffice has appointed Maria Chappell to the new role of group head of category.

Maria has nine years of experience working in the office supplies industry, starting as a product manager at Office2Office. She joined Euroffice in 2011 where she held the position of category manager.

In her new position, Chappell will manage the core category functions of ranging, sourcing, cost-price negotiation, product merchandising and vendor relationship for the whole of the group which includes Office Power, Euroffice UK and UK Office Direct, whilst also providing consultancy to Euroffice Italy and Germany.
