David Brocklehurst appointed Chairman and Founder of FirmDecisions

David Brocklehurst has been appointed as Chairman of FirmDecisions – the business he founded in 1997.

The appointment follows the recent appointment of Federica Bowman as CEO.

David founded FirmDecisions in 1997, pioneering an industry solution which now has global recognition within the marketing services sector, and in which the FirmDecisions brand is recognised as the clear market leader.

Announcing the news, Nick Waters, global CEO of parent company Ebiquity plc, said:

David’s appointment will enable FirmDecisions’ clients and the wider industry to further benefit from his extensive knowledge, experience, and client relationships.

Commenting on his appointment, David Brocklehurst said:

Since starting the business 23 years ago, FirmDecisions has grown to become a world leader. I am particularly proud of both our incredible talent base – today spread throughout 17 offices across 14 countries, and our fantastic local, regional and global clients. I very much look forward to working closely with our new CEO, Federica Bowman and Ebiquity’s CEO, Nick Waters, in ensuring that we continue to expand the high level of specialist services we provide and meet the evolving needs of our clients and partners.

FirmDecisions was acquired by Ebiquity plc in 2012. Since then it has continued its impressive growth and international expansion, now operating in 14 markets around the world. Their client list spans across almost every sector and business and includes Unilever, Jaguar Land Rover, and Mondelez

Brocklehurst begins his new role immediately.
