Cartwright Communications has announced changes to its leadership structure with the appointment of Annie Brafield and Rose Hayes as joint managing directors.

Founder Liz Cartwright will move into the role of founder, while Brafield and Hayes will oversee the agency’s day-to-day operations. The appointments build on the expanded responsibilities both executives have held since becoming shareholders in the business in 2023.

According to the agency, Brafield and Hayes have played a key role in supporting business growth, following a year that saw Cartwright report record turnover and secure new client wins as it approaches 20 years in business.

The agency currently employs 40 people across its offices in Nottingham, London and Birmingham. Its client portfolio includes ZEISS, Pagabo, Woolroom and SLR Consulting.

Cartwright has also announced additional leadership changes, including the appointment of Mandeep Bhaur as head of new business. Peter Mumford has also taken on the additional role of innovation lead alongside his current responsibilities as account manager.
