SEOS Displays, the Burgess Hill-based manufacturer of visual display systems for the simulator industry, has appointed Sarah Minett as sales and marketing director.

Sarah has been with SEOS for more than ten years having first joined the firm for work experience while studying for a business studies degree at the University of Brighton.

Over the years she has played a key role in all aspects of sales and marketing, seeing the company's revenue grow from £1 million to £19 million, of which over 80 per cent is export sales.

More recently, Sarah broadened her business experience by taking responsibility for human resources and corporate planning.
