“The position sees me managing the new business development and marketing department that encompasses a team working to expand and improve the services we currently offer within all aspects of food production, amenity and land management,” he says.

“I’m proud to be able to promote BASIS and showcase the great work it’s doing for its members and the industry, and I’ll have a particular focus on developing cross-sector relations, whether that be with the food supply chain or areas of livestock production.”

BASIS’ second promotion has been given to Jess Deunert, a longstanding member of the team, who has progressed through the company during the last 10 years.

“During my time at BASIS I developed a passion for digital solutions, design and communication. This set me on a path towards a Chartered Institute of Marketing qualification, which has since enabled me to step up into the role of marketing manager,” she says.

“I’m working closely with Greg to drive and deliver internal and external marketing campaigns with a focus on digital outputs including podcasts and new website features to support our members in their daily roles.”
