Bringing business development and marketing under one umbrella allows me to use my expertise and influence in both areas to make bartlett mitchell even more successful. I’m very excited about this opportunity; we have an amazing team and an outstanding company to sell”
Wendy Bartlett, managing director, added: “Lin has worked with bartlett mitchell over many years, initially when she had her own award-winning design and marketing agency and latterly as our Marketing Director.
"She really understands food and the business we are in so combined with her sales and marketing skills, she will make a big difference. We have a lot of opportunities in the pipeline and Lin’s leadership in the vital area of sales and marketing will help us convert more of these opportunities into sales growth.”
