Devonshires has appointed Nicholas Barrows as its first chief marketing officer, marking a new phase in the firm’s growth. Barrows returns after previously working at the firm from 2006 to 2008, rejoining following an 18-year tenure at Trowers & Hamlins, where he most recently served as director of marketing.
He will work with the senior leadership team and heads of department to strengthen the firm’s business development and marketing functions, assuming overall responsibility for those teams. His remit includes supporting the continued growth of the firm’s corporate and facilities management services while maintaining its strong position in the living sector.
Barrows said: ‘I am delighted to be returning to Devonshires’ and added he was ‘excited by the opportunity to consolidate and build on that growth’, looking forward to working with colleagues ‘to ensure that Devonshires continues to go from strength to strength.’
Chief executive officer Duncan Edwards said Barrows was ‘the standout candidate’ to lead the teams as the firm’s first chief marketing officer, adding that his ‘strong track record across all areas of marketing and business development’ and sector knowledge would make him ‘a hugely valuable addition to the team.'
