New marketing appointment

Kim French has been appointed marketing co-ordinator by G. E. Baker (UK) Ltd, where she will be responsible for a wide range of marketing functions. These will include maintaining and developing the company’s websites, advertising, promotions, PR, mailings, literature and exhibitions.

The Suffolk-based company — which trades under the name of Quality Equipment — has grown due to expansion in its construction, manufacturing and products divisions. While it is primarily involved in agriculture, in recent years it has expanded into other construction and fabrication areas, and also has a healthy overseas trade.

Kim, a livestock farmer’s daughter, who gained a degree in Business Management at Essex University and a master’s degree in Marketing Communications from Bournemouth University, has held a number of posts in both sales and marketing.

She lives on her parents’ farm in Maldon, Essex, where her spare-time hobbies include horse-riding, swimming, gym and reading.
