THERE are changes at the top of Thames Valley business, Macbeth, as the company predicts a 15% revenue increase this year.
Millie Smith, Marketing Director, joins CEO Paul Macbeth and MD Ben Butler on the board. Tony Gibbs has stepped down but remains with the business in a senior role.
Ms.Smith will continue to lead the fully integrated marketing strategy for Macbeth, one of the region’s leading independent insurance brokers and financial services firms. Her portfolio of responsibilities includes corporate communications, client experience, digital marketing and community partnerships, an area of strategic importance for the firm.
Since joining Macbeth in March last year as head of marketing, she has been pivotal to consolidating the firm’s brand, overseeing the integration of the firm’s acquisition of Peter Lole. She led Macbeth’s complete rebrand announced in February this year and has been instrumental in strengthening the firm’s reputation as an employer of choice.
“I’m thrilled to take on this newly created role and help build Macbeth’s brand momentum. To represent marketing at board level feels so rewarding. To take my career to this next level, as a working-mum, working flexibly is incredibly exciting. It’s not something I thought I could have achieved even five years ago and speaks completely to the culture here at Macbeth,” she said.
Paul Macbeth, CEO, added: “From the outset, Millie’s marketing expertise and strategic vision clicked with our energetic culture of entrepreneurialism, professionalism, and genuine client centricity. We know she’s only going to be more impactful for our business in this new role. It’s a real delight to welcome her to the board.”
