WORCESTERSHIRE baby bedtime company the Little Green Sheep has added two new recruits to its flock.

Rosie Pritchard has been appointed as graduate business manager and Chris Parker is a new apprentice. The two roles have been created to support increasing demand following fast-growing sales for the company based at Stockwood, near Inkberrow.

Miss Pritchard, who joins the company fresh from university, will be the first point of contact for all new customers. She will also be responsible for maintaining the Little Green Sheep’s customer service as well as supplier ordering.

Mr Parker, who is the second apprentice to join the team, beat 27 other applicants to the post and will spend the year learning new skills and gaining experience in order fulfilment and warehousing. Following the success of the scheme last year, co-founders Mark Nicholls and Paul Maurice were keen to offer an apprenticeship to a school leaver. Mr Nicholls, co-founder of the Little Green Sheep said: “We are delighted to welcome both Rosie and Chris to our rapidly expanding team.”
