Callcredit Marketing Solutions Appoints Telford As Strategy Director

Kevin Telford has joined Callcredit Marketing Solutions as strategy director, reporting directly into managing director Caroline Worboys. Kevin will be responsible for developing a clear strategic plan for the business and will work with clients to ensure they are receiving the greatest possible return on investment.

Callcredit Marketing Solutions was formed earlier this year with the merger of major data and marketing players Broadsystem and EuroDirect, and sits alongside Callcredit Credit Solutions within the Callcredit Information Group.

Kevin has previously worked with Acxiom, VeriSign and Dataforce and brings with him a wealth of experience in innovative client solutions and strategic planning. In his new role, he will work with Caroline Worboys and the rest of the senior team to develop existing client relationships and grow new leads for the business.

Kevin Telford comments:

"Joining Callcredit Marketing Solutions is a very exciting step for me and I look forward to helping the team grow and develop its offering in the market.

"We are in a great position in that we can combine integrated marketing solutions with the data assets within the Callcredit Information Group, and we are confident we can deliver return on investment for our clients through more effective marketing and great customer experience. "

Caroline Worboys, Managing Director Callcredit Marketing Solutions, adds:

"Kevin joining our team is a huge bonus for us, as he will help us drive greater client focus particularly in how we deliver and add real strategic value for all our clients.

"Kevin's skills and approach will complement and fit well with our already strong leadership team and we are all thrilled to have him on board."
