Thereafter he remained on the Board as a Non-Executive Director and has made an enormous contribution to the Group during his long tenure.

Richard Huntingford, Non-Executive Chairman of Creston plc, commented: "We are delighted that Kate is joining us. Our marketplace is a dynamic one and, as we continue to evolve our business to deliver more technology based marketing solutions for our clients, Kate's vast digital experience will be invaluable in driving and embedding this focus across the Group."

Richard added: "I would also like to thank David for the constant wise counsel and experience which he has brought to the Board during his time with Creston.
