Social Media: Who's Who

So if you're reading this blog, you've probably also stumbled across our social media accounts. If so you might be wondering who's behind them and this wonderful blog. Even if you've not wondered before, you might start soon wondering who is behind the initials that will start appearing at the end of certain posts from this week, so we thought we'd give you a Who's Who of our social media!

Sam Conway: Press Officer

My main role as Press Officer is to ensure that the good work carried out by the Charity is made known to the wider community. It is my job to build on and maintain excellent relationships with local, regional and national media, write up press releases, sell news stories and liaise with journalists on news, campaigns and forthcoming events held by the Charity. I also ensure that our social media is updated regularly with engaging updates. Social media is such an important part of the Charity and it is essential that our Twitter and Facebook pages are updated regularly with the latest stories that we have to offer.

In my spare time, I am a freelance sports writer. I regularly report on Football League matches across the Midlands and Oxfordshire for The Football League Paper, a weekly national newspaper. I also enjoy socialising, listening to music and playing the occasional round of golf.

^KW - Kirsty Wayness: Fundraising Communications Officer

My role as Communications Officer is to ensure that internal communications are positive, clear & up to date and support the fundraising team with upcoming projects, events and campaigns. In my spare time I like to socialise with my friends and family, I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie and I’m always looking for my next challenge.

^KB - Kerry Burton: Retail PA/ Office Manager

My main role is to support our Director of Retail with her day to day duties, so designing spreadsheets for figure analysis etc and following up anything with regards the opening of new shops.  My office manager role involves the upkeeping of shop files, health and safety at Kegworth etc.  I am relishing the opportunity to be “the voice of Retail” on our social networking sites, to be able to spread the word of just how good our shops are. I think that it will be really beneficial to the Landing Pad and look forward to being able to start promoting all aspects of retail on line.

^JT - Justin Thompson: Recycling Manager

Justin heads up our Recycling department at Kegworth. He will be posting about all things recycling - giving you the heads up on all our current and upcoming exciting recycling initiatives.
