Cooper solutions is aiming to double its revenue after hiring a man who has worked for some of the biggest names in business.

It has hired Mark Jeff-Johnston as business development manager. Jeff-Johnston has over 20 years experience increasing sales for FTSE 100 listed companies including the likes of BP, Castrol, Aviva as well as RAC.

But now he is charged with meeting the firm’s target of doubling its revenue within three years.

Cooper Solutions currently supplies its products, which include FullAuction and FullForecast, to over 1,200 UK franchised car dealers with its web-based software designed and installed by the company to assist with the day-to-day running, efficiency and profitability of car dealerships.

Jeff-Johnston will be targeting retail groups and manufacturers.

Barry Cooper, managing director, said: "This is an exciting stage in the expansion and development of Cooper Solutions and the next few years will see some of the biggest growth in our 11 year history."
