Based in Brisbane, Australia, Parry works with Bell's pest control distributors and their sales representatives on the use and promotion of Bell's rodent control products. In the field, he provides technical assistance on pest control strategies, including accompanying distributor reps and technicians on inspections at rodent infestation sites. Parry also represents Bell at national trade shows and attends distributor sales meetings where he trains individuals on using Bell products.

In the retail and agricultural markets, Parry works with distributor sales managers and buyers, providing product information and training, developing business plans with distributors and implementing promotional programs.

Parry brings more than 15 years' experience in the pest control industry, along with skills in management, communication and sales. Before joining Bell, Parry most recently was the technical sales manager for Pest IT Pty Ltd, where he developed new business throughout Queensland. He also developed and managed pest control programs as the business development consultant for Arrest-A-Pest Pest Control in Queensland.

In addition to tertiary studies in management development and pest control, Parry holds a Certificate 3 in Pest Control. Parry has used Bell products throughout his career. "The first lockable bait station I used was a PROTECTA LP and since then I have always used Bell products as a bench mark," he notes.
