Property consultants Bruton Knowles has announced two key promotions to strengthen its corporate team. Samantha Pennington has been promoted to Operations Director while Chris Eldridge has been promoted to Marketing Director.
Managing Partner Patrick Downes said: “These promotions are well deserved as they have each put much effort into supporting the management and growth of our business to date.
“Chris will join the firm’s Business Strategic Group which aims to seek strategic growth through acquisitions and joint ventures, where appropriate, and set marketing strategy. Whereas Sam will step up to the Executive Management Team responsible for monitoring and deliver profit whilst controlling costs.”
Chris, who has a Master’s Degree in Business Administration has been with the partnership since 2004, and has more than 18 years’ hands-on marketing experience across both the manufacturing and property sectors.
He said: “I am extremely motivated by my new role, the partnership has ambitious growth plans for the future and I am pleased to see that a commitment to serving clients remains at the heart of the business.”
Sam, who has been with the firm 27 years, worked her way up through the business after joining Bruton Knowles in 1988 at the age of just 20.
“I started off as rural agency secretary and progressed through various roles developing the firm’s IT systems, operations and fleet management across all Bruton Knowles’ offices. I am particularly proud of the fact that BK has supported my formal training, enabling me to learn and develop the necessary skills and attributes needed to deliver this exciting role”.
