Gillespie Macandrew doubles marketing team

Gillespie Macandrew LLP has recruited two new marketing specialists to step up the firm’s marketing activity as it continues to expand its business.

Lisa Fitzpatrick joins as the senior marketing executive and Rebecca Croan as business development executive, doubling the size of the firm’s marketing team.

Ms Fitzpatrick brings more than 10 years’ marketing experience and joins from manufacturer Brand-Rex, where she was responsible for the company’s digital marketing, events/exhibitions, PR, product launches, campaigns and collateral management.

Ms Croan comes from a background in legal marketing and has been involved in both marketing and strategic business development for a similar major Edinburgh law firm.

Chris West, chief executive of Gillespie Macandrew, welcomed both Lisa and Rebecca. He said: “As we continue to focus on building and expanding our business, it is important that our marketing capabilities keep pace with that ambition.

“Both Lisa and Rebecca bring a wealth of experience from both within and outwith the profession to ensure our approach is both informed, knowledgeable and fresh at the same time. I look forward to working with them.”
