Rothwell also has a strong understanding of another of Tracesmart's primary markets - the debt collection industry.

Commenting on his promotion and future plans Rothwell noted, "I am honoured to take on the role of Sales Director at Tracesmart and my initial goal will be to expand our sales team. During the last fiscal year we have seen an unprecedented rise in demand for our services- especially in the financial sector where banks and building societies are looking to initiate asset reunification campaigns in order to reunite lost customers with their unclaimed assets.

In my new position I aim to ensure that the company continues to enjoy the exceptional growth we have experienced over the last year."
As a result of his new appointment, Rothwell now finds both business strategy and data purchase fall under his jurisdiction. He is also responsible for ensuring the company's services continue to meet the high standards clients have come to expect.

whilst he was Sales Manager the company witnessed record sales and a large increase in annual profit.
It is because of this performance that I am more than happy to entrust Chris with the responsibility of
Sales Director - I know that he will ensure our forthcoming financial year is even more rewarding than the last."
