Professional and DIY decorating tools company Hamilton has appointed Philippa Pawson as marketing director.
This is a new post created following the completion of Tobias Andersson's secondment as business development manager from the company's Norwegian parent brand, Anza.

Ms Pawson, who started with Hamilton in March 2013, has an extensive pedigree in marketing consumer goods and specifically in the decorating industry, including a stint at Robert J Hall, the parent company of HallsBeeline and Stanley decorating products, now owned by painting and decorating tools firm Storch-Ciret.

She will be reporting to managing director Steve Edwards.
