Redditch-based marketing and bid management consultancy Stephen Alexander has announced two new hires as it continues to expand and support its ambitious growth plans.
Founded in 2022 by Stephen Timmins and Alex Footman, Stephen Alexander provides outsourced marketing and bid management services to owner-managed businesses, SMEs, and larger corporates. In just over three and a half years, the business has grown rapidly and now supports clients across the UK and in Dubai in B2B and B2C markets across professional services, construction, healthcare, facilities management, and a range of other sectors.
As part of its continued growth, the company has welcomed Chris Thomas as marketing manager and Liberty Blackwell as marketing executive, both joining in client-facing roles. Thomas joins the business following marketing roles at Halfords, Calor Gas and Mars Group. Blackwell previously worked across several agencies in the West Midlands.
Alex Footman, marketing director and co-founder of Stephen Alexander, commented: “We’re delighted to welcome both Chris and Liberty to the team as we continue our growth journey. When we launched the business almost four years ago, our aim was to provide specialist marketing and bid management support to help businesses win new work and grow. We’re incredibly proud of the results we’ve delivered for clients across our marketing and bid management services. Chris and Liberty bring valuable new skills and experience to the business, strengthening our ability to deliver impactful marketing and enabling us to support even more businesses across the region.”
Stephen Timmins, bid director and co-founder of Stephen Alexander, added: “Bringing Chris and Liberty into the business is another positive step in the next phase of our growth. Since we launched in 2022, we have focused on building a business that can support our client’s ambitious growth plans and help them win new work. Both Chris and Liberty bring new expertise, experience and energy to our team and strengthens our ability to deliver exceptional service to clients in the UK and internationally.”
