Promotions for five senior employees at Freshwater
We’re delighted to announce that five talented members of our team have been promoted to senior roles across the agency.
Chris Knights, 33, has been promoted to director, Caitlin Thomas, 31, to head of digital, and Charlotte Homa, 33, to head of events. We have also promoted Hannah Thompson and Steve Lambert, 33 and 30 respectively, to senior account directors.
The promotions follow a series of major client wins, including digital services contracts for accountancy firm Menzies LLP and law firm Rylands Garth, and events management of the British Ports Association (BPA) Conference 2024 in Portsmouth.
Sarah Whittle, HR and operations director at Freshwater, said: “The promotions of five outstanding individuals at Freshwater are testament to our commitment to nurturing talent and fostering a culture of growth within the agency.
“It’s particularly rewarding to see individuals, who began their journey with us at junior level, taking on such significant roles. This not only demonstrates the effectiveness of our training and development programmes but also reflects the trust we place in our team members to contribute meaningfully to our success.
“As we congratulate our recently promoted team members, we continue to uphold our commitment to creating an environment where every individual can thrive and learn.”
Chris Knights added: “Freshwater has a leading reputation in providing healthcare and NHS communications and we’ve built up an enviable client base in recent years.
“I look forward to continuing to build on our strengths, working with our talented team of communicators to support health and care sector clients to improve people’s health and achieve the best patient experience and outcomes.”
Caitlin Thomas said: “Since joining Freshwater less than three years ago, I’ve had fantastic opportunities working with clients across a range of sectors, from legal and professional services to healthcare and public sector.
“The industry moves at pace and I look forward to continuing to develop our digital offering at Freshwater, working with talented colleagues in the digital team and across the agency to implement innovative digital strategies for clients which enhance their online presence and deliver results that matter.”
Charlotte Homa said: “I’m excited to expand our events offering, working closely with talented colleagues across the agency to continue to provide exceptional end-to-end events management services for clients across the UK.
“For me, a particular focus will be continuing to explore ways to make our events more sustainable and environmentally friendly, especially by supporting local suppliers.”
