Heather Heaton has joined Downtown in Business as marketing executive.

Helen previously worked for a number of membership-based organisations, including the Wirral Chamber of Commerce. She recently established the Professional Comms Network to help other communications professionals to connect and do more together.

She will now work with Downtown's communications team to increase the organisation's digital footprint and improve engagement across the network with new and existing members.

Heather said: “I am excited to be working with Downtown in Business, working alongside an experienced team who know their members well.

"We’ll be working together to reposition Downtown and enhance the current marketing offer for members. I’m looking forward to getting to know the members, the team and to doing more together.”

Frank McKenna, chief executive of Downtown in Business,  said: “We are really pleased that Heather is joining the team here.

"Having known Heather for a number of years and having seen the impact she’s had with other organisations, we’re excited to have the opportunity to work with her. "Heather’s passion for marketing and communications, coupled with being an entrepreneur mean she has a real sense of what our members need from us. I know the Downtown community will give her a very warm welcome.”
