Healthcare event management firm Ashfield Meetings & Events has appointed Jo Brook as an engagement director and Ian Anderson joins as creative director.

Since 2012 she has held the role of head of engagement with accountability for the company’s creative, production, digital, communication and exhibition offerings in addition to managing the supply chain.
Brook says: “I am thrilled to take on the mantle of engagement director. With a number of new staff appointments over the past year and numerous new business wins to kick start 2015, it is an exciting time for the team.”
Nicola Burns who is the firm’s global managing director, adds: “Jo’s remit will be to continue to expand and enhance the services we offer and oversee the delivery on a global basis. We look forward to seeing the continued growth of our engagement services under Jo’s guidance and leadership.”
Ian Anderson has joined the agency as head of creative and takes with him over 25 years’ experience, having transitioned across from Ashfield Meetings & Events’ sister company – the KnowledgePoint360 Group – where he held the position of director of creative services.
Brook says on his appointment: “Ian will be a tremendous asset to our business. He will head up our growing creative team and will bring fresh ideas, new ways of thinking and working. He has spent 19 years with the KnowledgePoint360 group and has a vast amount of insight and understanding in the pharmaceutical sector.”
