Commenting on her appointment, Marianne said: “It’s such an exciting time to be joining the Cal Partners team and I can’t wait to hit the ground running. I’m really looking forward to sharing my in-house marketing and communications experience with the agency’s incredible portfolio of clients and helping to contribute to the team’s ongoing growth and success.”

Chris Lucarelli, director at Cal Partners, commented: “The team and I are delighted that Marianne has joined us at such an exciting time for Cal Partners. During this period of economic uncertainty, our offer of working as an experienced, pragmatic, multi-disciplined and cost-effective outsourced marketing team has never been more in demand. The combination of Marianne’s previous experience of working in an agency, with professional services and more recently in the renewables and maritime space, dovetails perfectly with the work we are delivering for our clients and her appointment provides a solid basis for our continued growth.”
