Matt Newton and Anwyn Williams

DHP Family has announced two promotions within its marketing team.

Anwyn Williams has been promoted to head of marketing and Matt Newton is stepping up to become marketing manager.

She also manages the marketing for the Dot To Dot Festival, and is a member of the internal teams that deliver the Women in Music initiative, set up to address the gender imbalance within the music industry, and Beat The Streets, a multi-venue event in Nottingham to combat homelessness that has raised nearly £250,000 for the charity Framework.

He added: “Through the hard work and agility of our team and staying close to our property management clients throughout the pandemic, we have been able to kickstart a powerful period of growth. Mark’s appointment as head of finance reflects our ambition to further build on this recent growth.”
