Club Green has appointed Sam Taylor and Paul Lewis in a commercial capacity to help grow the Fiestas Guirca business in the UK.
The new appointments build on strong feedback and interest since the launch of the UK operation of Fiestas Guirca.
Sam (pictured left) joins with over 17 years of experience in the fancy dress industry, bringing a wealth of expertise to the UK market. Having started out as a buyer, before transitioning into the wholesale sector, he has worked with some of the industry’s leading suppliers, including Rubies Masquerade, Amscan International and most recently, Disguise.
During a decade at Amscan International, Sam played a key role in the company’s growth, helping establish it as a major costume supplier across the UK and Europe. This expansion led to significant licensing agreements with major licensors, alongside a thriving generic portfolio catering to year-round demand.
Now, as part of the Fiestas Guirca and Club Green collaboration, Sam is set to drive the brand’s presence in the UK, bringing extensive industry knowledge and a commitment to delivering to customers.
Sam commented: “I am very excited and fully focused on driving the Fiestas Guirca brand forward in the UK. With the backing of both Fiestas Guirca and Club Green, we are confident in our ability to make a significant impact and deliver outstanding value to our customers.
“The energy and enthusiasm that I have seen from both Fiestas Guirca and Club Green are some of the main reasons I was keen to be part of this project.
“With a clear vision and unwavering commitment, we are dedicated to providing exceptional service and support to customers across various sectors.”
Paul (pictured right) joins the business with over 10 years of e-commerce experience. Having previously worked with companies like Henbrandt, Rubies and Widmann and joins the Fiestas Guirca commercial team as a specialist. His online experience will be a strong addition to the work already accomplished by the team in the past 12-18 months and help it to realise its online potential for customers.
