Chorley-headquartered fulfilmentcrowd has strengthened its senior team with a duo of new appointments.

The international provider of fulfilment services and software technology says the move follows “impressive growth” in the first half of its 2024 financial year.

Katie Shepherd joins the business as head of brand from growth design marketing company, Avidly, where she was the strategic solutions manager.

Bringing almost 10 years’ experience in sales and marketing, Katie’s background spans brand development, digital design, strategic business management, and CRM strategy.

She is no stranger to the fulfilmentcrowd brand having previously spent six years with the business from 2016 to 2021, most recently as creative brand manager.

In her new role, Katie will be responsible for developing the identity and equity of the fulfilmentcrowd brand.

Meanwhile, Rachel Miller joins as head of financial reporting. Rachel spent seven years as an auditor before moving into industry roles, most recently with Victorian Plumbing plc, where she was group financial controller.

In addition to her core day-to-day financial responsibilities, including strengthening fulfilmentcrowd’s internal control environment, Rachel will apply her knowledge of both UK and international tax compliance to support fulfilmentcrowd’s expansion overseas.

Chief executive Lee Thompson said: “Katie and Rachel’s appointments mark a strategic milestone for fulfilmentcrowd as we strive to amplify the financial standing of the business and its brand identity.

“As we continue to expand and develop our market offering, Rachel’s experience of complex accounting procedures and stringent regulatory requirements at large plcs, alongside her previous work as an auditor, will stand us in good stead.

“Additionally, welcoming back Katie’s passion for creative and brand development, coupled with her deep knowledge of fulfilmentcrowd, is a huge win for the business.

“Both hires significantly strengthen our senior team and positions us to further enhance and scale the business.”
