The UKs largest lettings agency Martin & Co has welcomed a new member of staff to the Marketing Department at their head office in Bournemouth. Lucy Wooldridge has joined the team in a permanent role as a Marketing Assistant. Lucy will be replacing James Leigh, the current Marketing Assistant who is on a one year work placement from Bournemouth University. James is returning to University to complete his Marketing degree.

 

Lucy graduated from Bournemouth University with a degree in Event Management. Throughout the course she focussed on Marketing and other key areas of business. Part of her degree involved completing a work placement, where she was the Marketing and Communication Assistant for The Peverel Group. After graduating in 2009, Lucy worked for Countrywide Estate Agents where she developed further knowledge in the property industry and co-ordinating various marketing efforts.

 

The role for Lucy at Martin & Co will be a varied one; the key tasks include providing marketing support to the entire franchise network which is now over 170 offices, working alongside Jayne Codling, Martin & Co’s Marketing Director. Lucy will have particular emphasis on public relations and communication.

 

On her appointment Lucy commented:” I am extremely pleased to be working for such a successful and fast growing business. I am very excited to develop my new role and skill set”. She added “Marketing is my passion and I’m looking forward to offering my expertise and developing a career within one of the UK’s leading residential lettings and property management businesses”.

 

Jayne Codling is delighted with the marketing department’s latest addition. She said, “With just under 90 offices in 2006 when I first started, it’s great to have Lucy as part of the team, with over 170 offices throughout the UK there’s plenty to be getting on with.”
