IMS Field Marketing Ltd - Additional Recruitment and Promotion at IMS Head Office

Additional Recruitment and Promotion at IMS Head Office

As a result of IMS continuing to welcome new clients to their already extensive portfolio in 2006, IMS have recruited two further staff members to its head office operations. Increased business opportunities have also resulted in yet another notable internal promotion for one of the existing staff members of IMS.

Having completed a brief temporary contract as part of the IMS Support Team, Ryan Tai joins IMS head office on a full time basis. Ryan is a graduate of the University of Sheffield where he obtained his degree in Computer Science and Mathematics. Making a positive impression during his temporary contract period, Ryan is currently working in the role of Field Team Support Co-ordinator, but is scheduled to move over to the IT department in the full time role of IT Support Assistant in the coming months. In this position he will utilise the skills he obtained during his degree course.

IMS have also recruited Katie Jones as a full time Field Team Support Co-ordinator. Katie is a graduate of Hull University where she obtained a BA in Marketing and Business Studies. Prior to working for IMS, Katie worked for Doncaster Prison in the Health and Safety Department. Katie has already proved herself to be a hard working member of the Support Team and undoubtedly has a bright future with IMS.

Having been with IMS for over 2 years, Daniel Topp has received an internal promotion from the position of IT Support Assistant to IT Support Manager. Daniel’s role will involve managing the day-to-day operations of the IT Department. Pleased with the progress Daniel has made during his time at IMS, IT Director Robert Taylor had the following comments regarding Daniel’s promotion:

"Daniel's promotion to IT Support Manager will enable us to further improve and develop our core IT systems and procedures, maintaining our position as the industry leader when it comes to innovation."

With talk of further growth for the Doncaster based field marketing company, the second half of 2006 looks to be an extremely productive one as IMS continues to prove to clients why they are the intelligent choice when it comes to field marketing.
