Kate takes over the reins from Sue Carr, Director of Nottingham-based marketing consultancy firm, V Formation Ltd, who has held the role for three years.

Commenting on her appointment, Kate said, “I was thrilled to be asked to become the Regional Director and I hope my background working as a fee earner and in support roles for professional services firms on a national and regional basis, will bring many benefits to local members. We are planning an exciting programme of events for 2017 and look forward to welcoming more East Midlands members.”

Kate added, “I would like to add a personal thank you to Sue on behalf of the PM Forum for the brilliant job she has done as regional director and I am delighted that she has agreed to remain on the committee.”

We have built up a close network of professional services marketers in the East Midlands, and Kate’s enthusiasm and passion for the sector will be very welcome.”
