Firstlight expands corporate and healthcare team with seven hires

Firstlight has announced the addition of seven new members to its corporate and healthcare unit, following on from its strong performance in 2014.

The raft of new hires includes the appointments of Iain Alexander, Alice Beard and Juliet Keane as senior account executives, with Hannah Pluthero and Ben Honan also joining as account executives.

Meanwhile, Daisy Burrows has been appointed as an assistant account executive and Charlotte Hodgson has been taken on as an account manager.

The agency has taken on these new members of staff as it seeks to continue its recent strong momentum into 2015 and carry on expanding steadily.

Paul Davies, managing director of Firstlight, said: "The variety of backgrounds that our new team members bring with them will continue to ensure that we continue to provide the expertise, creativity and responsiveness that keeps us at the heart of our clients' business."

The independent multi-sector communications consultancy counts companies such as Novartis, Sanofi, Napp and Vifor Pharma among its client roster.
