Starting his grocery career in the 1970’s Barrie joined CPC Best Foods as a Rep before progressing to Regional Manager. He left CPC to work for Robert McBride as Sales Manager and after a short period left McBride to launch his own company, Russell Marketing Agency.
Barrie took a strategic decision to sell Private Label contracts within major customers, through all channels in the grocery trade covering multiple retailers, discounters, variety stores and wholesalers.
