The Body Doctor to expand further in the retail sector

The Body Doctor has announced the appointment of Matthew Blakely as its new National Accounts Manager for Retail. He will be responsible for overseeing all retail accounts across the company’s growing brand portfolio, including its flagship eye care range, The Eye Doctor and the recently launched menopause brand, M-Club.

Matthew’s proven ability to build strong, lasting relationships and to drive sales performance will play a key role in supporting The Body Doctor’s continued expansion in the retail market.

He joins the company with over a decade of experience in sales, account management and retail growth and he has worked with some of the UK’s most recognisable fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) and pharmaceutical brands.

Matthew has consistently delivered results across major national retailers, including ASDA, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Boots, Holland & Barrett and Superdrug. His career highlights include being recognised as National Account Manager of the Year in both 2022 and 2024, and leading teams that have achieved consistent year-on-year sales growth.

Matthew’s expertise spans everything from negotiation and strategy to new product launches and customer portal management.

Speaking about the appointment, Sales and Marketing Director at The Body Doctor, Sam Wymer, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Matthew to the team. His energy, experience and proven track record in both FMCG and pharmaceuticals make him a fantastic addition as we continue to grow our retail presence.

“With Matthew at the helm of our retail accounts, including The Eye Doctor and our exciting new M-Club launch, we’re confident he’ll play a vital role in strengthening relationships and delivering growth across our brands.”

Matthew commented: “I’m excited to be joining such an innovative and forward-thinking business. The Body Doctor has a strong reputation within eye health, and with the launch of M-Club, it’s a really exciting time to come on board. I look forward to working with the team to build retail partnerships and help drive the portfolio’s growth.”
