WILMSLOW, CHESHIRE (22 June 2007) – The UK’s leading graduate assessment, placement and sales training organisation, Pareto Law, is strengthening its focus in the online arena with the appointment of Paul Drew as E-Commerce Marketing Manager.

Paul joins from the Co-op Travel Group where he was E-Commerce Marketing Manager for five years, with responsibility for the strategy that helped the Co-op build its online sales and brand. Prior to this Paul worked for Tekdata as Marketing Manager.

Paul will now head up the e-commerce team at Pareto Law, with responsibility for all online activity across the organisation’s Cheshire head office and six regional offices in London, Crawley, Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds and Glasgow.

Paul commented: “Pareto Law has a very successful business model, and one that is perfect for the online world. With graduates increasingly web savvy, it is important that we strengthen online communication about the career opportunities that are open to them to help attract fresh, new talent. I am joining Pareto at a very exciting time in terms of the company’s e-commerce development and am looking forward to being part of its continued growth.”

Pareto Law now places some 1200 graduates a year in sales and marketing positions with organisations including Barclays, Whyte & Mackay and Johnson & Johnson. The company also provides advanced sales training to existing personnel.

Jonathan Fitchew, joint managing director of Pareto Law, added: “Finding the best graduates is key to our success, with only the top 20% of those we interview selected for placements. As part of this we need a constant stream of high quality new graduates, which is a major focus for the new online strategy. E-commerce is a key element of our growth over the coming years and we’re delighted to welcome Paul on board to help develop this further.”
