Jaywing director appointed at city marketing body

THE head of the newly-formed Marketing Nottingham & Nottinghamshire has been revealed.

Brendan Moffett will join Marketing Nottingham & Nottinghamshire as its first permanent chief executive later this month.

Moffett is currently a director at Sheffield-based marketing firm Jaywing. He will be leaving the company at the end of October and in the meantime will be phasing into his role at Marketing Nottingham & Nottinghamshire before starting full-time in November.

He said: “This is a very exciting role, the region has major growth potential and I am looking forward to working closely with the team and our partners to make it happen.”

Paul Southby, chairman of Marketing Nottingham & Nottinghamshire said: “Brendan joins us at an exciting time, as we develop a fresh identity and narrative for the city and county, step up the effort to attract investment and talent from London and put in place a new model for working with the local business community to promote our fantastic offer.

“I have no doubt his leadership and insight will help us put Nottingham and Nottinghamshire firmly on the map, building on the excellent progress made to date by the existing management team.”
