UK – Natalie Gunson is to step up to the role of MD at motivation and incentives agency AYMTM from 1 March.
The promotion follows John Derrick’s decision to become a non–executive member of the AYMTM board. Gunson joined P&MM in 1999 and the board of Archer Young (AY) in 2005, both now part of the Motivcom group.
Derrick has been MD of the business since selling his company, MTM, to Motivcom in 2007. He led the merger and integration of MTM with AY which was an existing Motivcom company.
AYMTM chairman, Nigel Cooper says: “John and I have been friends, competitors and colleagues for many years and when Motivcom acquired MTM in 2007 we agreed a vision for the newly-formed AYMTM and a two- to three-year plan to cement the merger and grow the business. In the last two years AYMTM has made over £1m of operating profit, has an enviable client list and an excellent team. I guess he feels its mission accomplished”.
Derrick says his team achieved “fantastic results, despite the worst recession for 70 years”.
