Channel Islands PR agency, Orchard, says it has grown its agency management team with the appointment of two new Account Directors.
Rebecca Lane has been promoted from Senior Account Manager to the role, whilst Georgie Vance has joined the agency from Specsavers, where she was most recently based in Canada helping to establish the brand there.
Orchard Account Directors are responsible for a portfolio of clients spanning various sectors. Ms Lane and Ms Vance also have direct management responsibility for other members of Orchard’s team.
Dan Gallienne, Head of Client Services at Orchard, celebrated the news.
“In promoting Rebecca and hiring Georgie we’ve appointed two brilliant comms people to our agency management team. They’re going to shape the way we deliver client work, contribute to agency and client strategy and be a brilliant resource for clients and the rest of our team.
“Rebecca’s promotion is the result of her unwavering dedication to Orchard and her dependability to go above and beyond for clients. Georgie is an exciting hire who brings a new set of skills, varied experience and valuable global perspective to the comms campaigns we’re delivering for clients.”
Ms Vance has joined Orchard’s Guernsey office, and Ms Lane is based in Manchester, where she has a remit to expand Orchard’s UK client base.
“Just because we’re an agency born in the Channel Islands doesn’t limit us to only working within our shores,” said Mr Galliene.
“Georgie’s global experience and Rebecca’s UK base are obvious ways we are broadening our ambition and growing our agency.”
