A FORMER King Charles I School pupil has been appointed marketing manager of a Black Country law firm.

Beverley Weston, 38, who lives in Kidderminster, an experienced legal marketing professional, joins George Green LLP from Challinors, where she was head of marketing for eight years.

Based in George Green's Cradley Heath offices, she will take on responsibility for all aspects of the firm's marketing, from branding and strategy to advertising and public relations.

Ms Weston said: "George Green is a well respected firm, which has already achieved a lot in marketing terms.

"However, they are keen to continue to grow and I believe I can help them step up their marketing efforts to help them achieve their desired expansion."

Richard Cliff, George Green senior partner, said: "I am delighted that we have appointed such an experienced and dedicated professional as Bev, who will bring a new dimension to our marketing efforts."

Ms Weston is deputy chairman of the Birmingham Forward marketing committee and a former Birmingham Future Leadership team member.

In her spare time, she is a keen motor racing fan, especially Formula 1 and is a qualified Indian head masseuse and reflexologist.
