LISA MOORE has been appointed marketing assistant at investment management firm Wise Speke.

She joined the firm, which employs 300 people in its Teesside and Newcastle offices, in 1999 after graduating from Northumbria University in marketing and business.

She said: "A new job always presents new challenges, but as I know the company so well already, I won't have to go through the familiarisation process that usually comes with a new job in a new company therefore, I can start implementing the marketing activities from the outset."

Ms Moore will be responsible for internal communications, media advertising and sourcing marketing opportunities for the firm.
