Having worked in accounts for over thirteen years Marie eventually moved into the shopping centre industry in 1999. Encouraged to take up the marketing and promotions for Charter Walk Shopping Centre, Burnley - Marie discovered her passion for marketing. Having gained years of practical experience but no marketing qualifications Marie decided to enrol for part-time evening tuition to gain the Professional Post Graduate Diploma in Marketing. Marie is now working towards achieving Chartered Marketer status within the Chartered Institute of Marketing which again involves further evening and weekend study!
With her top level qualifications, practical experience and marketing flair, Marie comes to her new role fully prepared for her challenging brief and the remarkably high standards which typify every Allen Design Group campaign.
Even in her personal life, Marie demonstrates the requisite drive and determination, especially when behind the wheel of one of the 6 vintage MGs which she and her partner have collected over the years. However, that said Marie openly admits she does have her blonde moments...daily!
