Marketing Delivery has restructured its senior team with a string of internal promotions to support growing demand from franchised dealerships for digital automation in sales and aftersales.

The company has expanded its team over the past year and says these latest changes, effective immediately, will lay the foundations for a “refreshed technical focus”.

Last December Jack Lazenby joined Marketing Delivery as senior full stack developer and has now been promoted to the role of head of technology, responsible for evolving the company’s technology offerings, introducing efficiencies and developing scalable products.

Another lockdown recruit was Max Jeffery, who now becomes head of product. This newly created post will allow Jeffery to upgrade existing products and develop new ones in response to dealer need and changing market conditions.

One of the longest-standing team members, Gee Kettle, becomes head of marketing after successfully steering client social media programmes for the past five and a half years. Kettle’s role is integral to the awareness and adoption of Marketing Delivery’s social software across the automotive sector. As head of marketing, Kettle will focus on appealing to a wider automotive audience as the range of available products and services expands.

In addition, Lorcan Matthews has been promoted to the position of senior account executive. Supporting account managers across several key accounts, Matthews is part of the team that has a hands-on relationship with clients, building an understanding of their business requirements and helping them select and optimise the right software package for their business.

Marketing Delivery’s managing director, Jeremy Evans, said: “I’m thrilled to have such a capable team alongside me to take the business forwards. As the industry suffered through the Covid-19 crisis, it became critical for us to develop tools that could help dealers adapt, at pace. The attraction of automating many manual communications processes is clear, and whether dealers are using our tools for sales, aftersales, or both, the results are almost instant.

“With this strong team, I know that we will continue to grow our product offering and support dealers, and customers, through the changing automotive landscape.”
