Cotton Court Group hires marketing help

The Preston-based Cotton Court Group has appointed Jack Barron as interim marketing director on a six-month agreement.

The former UCLan student will help develop and grow the group's companies, which include  Cotton Court Business Centre, Glovers Bar, a tech startup as well as numerous other operations.

He said: "There are a wide variety of businesses within the portfolio for me to get stuck into and do good work for, but I'm especially looking forward to working on the Cotton Court Business Centre side of things. My passion is helping SMEs, which aligns perfectly with what Cotton Court have been doing for many years.

"There's loads going on at Cotton Court in the very near future with the pods being built, expansion of our service offering, the free events and resources we're running for small businesses and a number of things that haven't been announced yet."

Jack added: "It's not just a period of growth for Cotton Court, it's a period of growth for Preston. You only have to look at the recent investment in the City Centre and Queen's retail park. I'm glad to be back and to be a part of it."
