The Marketing Centre is rapidly expanding across the West Country and Wales with its latest appointee, Andrew Smith. With Sally Shuttleworth leading the regional team, Andrew will be supporting local businesses who are seeking access to professional, experienced marketing advice through his role as part-time marketing director.

The Marketing Centre, a seven-year old business that has pioneered the concept of part-time marketing directors, has a team of 85+ part-time marketing directors covering nine regions across England, Scotland and Wales. There is growing demand for the service, which was founded in response to the increasing number of SME’s looking to invest in marketing, but who were unable to budget for the creation of a full-time position.

Andrew is an experienced Marketing Director with strong leadership skills gained from over 30 years in the consumer goods industry. Used to P&L accountability across different sizes of organisation, Andrew demonstrates a consistent track record of delivering exceptional performance. He is an open communicator and enjoys working with people across all levels and disciplines, building strong working relationships.

Sally Shuttleworth, regional director for the West Country and Wales comments: “I am delighted to have Andrew joining the Marketing Centre. As a team we are expanding rapidly and we are looking forward to working with more businesses in the region to help build growth and profitability for their shareholders.”

Andrew says,

“Our region has so many exciting and innovative businesses that are demonstrating the exceptional entrepreneurial spirit that is present across the West Country and Wales. I’m thrilled to be joining The Marketing Centre team and getting involved supporting local business growth.”
